1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 1/2 teaspoons crumbled dried rosemary

Preheat oven to 425°F. Butter 15 x 10 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Layer potatoes in prepared dish, sprinkling each layer with salt and pepper. Bring cream to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium. Add Roquefort to cream; whisk until cheese melts. Pour cream mixture over potatoes. Cover with foil. Bake until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.
