Smashed Yukon Gold Potatoes with Gorgonzola and Sage

Same old mashed potato procedure, but the blue cheese and sage are great variations on the theme.  The trick is to find an entree that doesn't overpower it.  I chose Cranberry Pork Tenderloin, but probably something without a sauce would be a better choice.  Maybe just steak.  Milk and butter measurements are just a guideline - use your own judgement.
