Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 6 ounces Brie cheese (rind removed)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 2 inches in diameter, to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the Brie cheese by cutting off the rind and slicing it into smaller pieces for easier melting. Set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit in the pot for a couple of minutes over low heat to evaporate any remaining moisture.
Add the butter and heavy cream to the potatoes. Mash the mixture using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the Brie cheese pieces, one handful at a time, allowing the heat of the potatoes to fully melt the cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely incorporated.
Season the mashed potatoes with ground black pepper and additional salt to taste, if needed.
Transfer the Brie mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired. Serve immediately.
