🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 5.2 ounces Boursin cheese (Garlic & Herb flavor)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 2 inches each.

2. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

3. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

4. While the potatoes are cooking, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

5. Stir the heavy cream, milk, and Boursin cheese into the saucepan with the melted butter mixture. Reduce the heat to low and stir until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside.

6. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot.

7. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork until smooth, or leave them slightly chunky if preferred.

8. Pour the Boursin cheese mixture over the mashed potatoes. Add the salt and black pepper, and stir until fully combined and creamy.

9. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper, if needed.

10. Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve warm.
