Boursin Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

• 5 lbs. potatoes (russet or Yukon gold)
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 5.3-oz. boursin cheese (garlic and herb flavor)
• 1 tsp. sea salt
• freshly cracked pepper for serving

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel potatoes and cut into 2-inch pieces, and place into a large pot (3 liters of water, 1 tablespoon of salt) of cold salted water.

2. 2

   Bring potatoes to a boil. Uncover and simmer over medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain potatoes and let dry for a minute or two.

3. 3

   When potatoes are close to being cooked through, combine butter, heavy cream, and Boursin cheese in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring together, and breaking up cheese with a spoon until everything is warm and butter and boursin are melted.

4. 4

   Pour half of the butter mixture over potatoes and mash with a potato masher until potatoes are smooth, adding the remaining liquid as you mash, until you reach the perfect consistency. Season with salt and mash in to distribute.

5. 5

   Serve with freshly cracked pepper and flaky salt to taste.
