Ingredients
- 3 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) softened
- 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1 (5.2 oz/150g) package Boursin cheese softened
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt see note
- pepper to taste
- fresh chives chopped, optional
Instructions
- I didn't peel the Yukon Golds I used for this recipe, but you can if you prefer (or peel half of them). Cut the potatoes into halves (or thirds if they're large). Add them to a large pot of salted water and boil until a sharp knife easily pierces them.
- Meanwhile, while the potatoes are boiling, add the butter, cream, Boursin, garlic, and salt & pepper to a small saucepan over low heat. Let it slowly warm through (turn off the heat once it's warm or it'll get too thick). Stir occasionally.
- Drain the potatoes and leave them in the pot. Pour in half the cream mixture and mash them a bit then add the other half and finish mashing until it's all incorporated and creamy. Try not to over-mash or the potatoes may end up gluey.
- Serve the potatoes with fresh chives sprinkled on top if desired. You could also add a couple extra pats of butter.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Serves 6-8 depending on portion size.
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt is a starting point - I personally would go up to 1 teaspoon, so taste and adjust as needed.
