Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 5 ounces Boursin cheese (garlic & herb flavor)
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the kosher salt.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter has melted. Do not let it boil. Set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes so the excess moisture evaporates.
Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth.
Add the heated cream and butter mixture to the potatoes, stirring to combine.
Crumble the Boursin cheese into the potatoes and mix until fully incorporated and creamy.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and additional salt if needed, to taste.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
