Arrange half of the potatoes in the bottom of a buttered 2 1/2-quart

saute for 1 minute. Add flour, stir, and cook for 3 minutes more. Pour in
milk and buttermilk all at once. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce

remaining potatoes over cheese and spoon remaining sauce on top. Sprinkle
with remaining blue cheese. Bake at 350F for 45 minutes. Sprinkle potato
chips over top and bake an additional 10 minutes. Meanwhile, blanch the
broccoli. Arrange broccoli around outer edges of casserole and garnish with
pimento; bake 5 minutes longer.
