So, I don't have a photo for you because my latest obsession really would not photograph well. I, frankly, make it a point not to look too hard at the bowl when I eat these, because the result is not aesthetically pleasing. If I shared a photograph, you might be too unenthused to ever try these, and that, my friend, would be a serious mistake. However unappealing the aesthetics, the taste is phenomenal.
The first time these came into being was a happy accident; I like barbeque sauce on my potatoes anyways, and a little bit of the gorgonzola from my steak had toppled onto the potatoes. The second time, it was intentional. And, well, we won't go into how many times after that because, really, you don't need to know.
Barbeque Blue Oven Potatoes
2 large baking potatoes
1 medium sweet onion
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Salt & pepper
Barbeque sauce
Gorgonzola crumbles
Preheat the oven to 350 F. You can peel or not peel the potatoes; for me that depends on how thick/eye-ridden the skins are and how hungry I am (peeling takes time). Chop the potatoes into about 1/2 inch chunks. Place in a single layer in a jellyroll pan. Mince your onion. Spread it on top of the potatoes. Drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle the salt and pepper over the top, and then give everything a good mix with your hands. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until fork-tender, stirring once about halfway through. Top with barbeque sauce and gorgonzola crumbles then stir. Close your eyes (barbeque sauce over potatoes and onions isn't the prettiest thing), take a bite, and realize that it's totally worth not looking at for those flavors to melt together on your tongue.
