Toss 1c milk, 4tbl butter, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1tsp smoked paprika, and a little salt (not too much since there will be plenty in the cheese) in a large pot over medium heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and add 1/2c sour cream and 1/2c blue cheese. Stir until combined. Pour a little into a casserole dish. Just enough to coat the bottom. Thinly slice about 10 small red potatoes and start layering. Continually coat with sauce. When completed, top with another 1/2c of blue cheese and some torn up french bread. I didn't have french bread so I used my leftover Frenchie Stink Bombs. Bake at 350 deg for 55 min but keep a close eye on it and start checking the potatoes after 40 min. What did I do wrong? I should have made a roux as the base as I did here. Do that with the ingredients listed above and it will have a much better consistency. I can't believe I forgot to do that. Still very tasty though. Eat it.

Blue Cheese and Red Potato Gratin
Okay, so I totally fucked this up. I am going to tell you what I did and then I will give an explanation for how to make it properly. I realized it was all jacked up after I put it in the oven but it still ended up tasting awesome. The cheese sauce was really runny but I will tell you how to fix it. Let's begin:
Toss 1c milk, 4tbl butter, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1tsp smoked paprika, and a little salt (not too much since there will be plenty in the cheese) in a large pot over medium heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and add 1/2c sour cream and 1/2c blue cheese. Stir until combined. Pour a little into a casserole dish. Just enough to coat the bottom. Thinly slice about 10 small red potatoes and start layering. Continually coat with sauce. When completed, top with another 1/2c of blue cheese and some torn up french bread. I didn't have french bread so I used my leftover Frenchie Stink Bombs. Bake at 350 deg for 55 min but keep a close eye on it and start checking the potatoes after 40 min. What did I do wrong?
