Mashed potatoes are especially good combined with creamy STILTON cheese and toasted walnuts. Serve "STILTON Mash" with onion gravy as a side dish. It is a perfect accompaniment to any cut of meat or can be considered a light main dish. Recipe by Steven Wheeler for the Stilton Cheese Makers' Association

STILTON Mashed Potato with Toasted Walnuts
4 ounces Stilton cheese, rind removed
Method
Peel and quarter the potatoes, cover with cold water, bring to a boil and cook for 20-25 minutes until they begin to fall apart. Drain the potatoes, leaving a little of the cooking water in the pan. Add the potatoes and mash until there are no lumps, stir in the milk, mix in the walnuts, crumble in the Stilton and season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Adjust the consistency of the mashed potatoes with milk until it begins to fall from the spoon.
To make the gravy, brown the onions in vegetable oil to give them flavor. Stir in the flour, gradually add the chicken stock and stir over heat to thicken. Serve with Stilton mashed potatoes.
