Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 5.2 oz Garlic & Fine Herbs Boursin cheese
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 2 tbsp chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Peel and cut potatoes into even 2-inch chunks.
  2. Place in a pot with cold water and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Drain and steam dry for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Mash potatoes until smooth, leaving a few lumps if desired.
  5. Stir in butter until melted.
  6. Add Boursin cheese and warm milk, mixing gently.

  8. Adjust milk or Boursin for texture and flavor. Transfer to serving bowl and garnish.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes and warm dairy for best results.
  • Avoid over-mixing to prevent gummy texture.
  • Dairy-free substitutions possible with plant-based ingredients.
  • Store leftovers up to 4 days; reheat with a splash of milk.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs for color and flavor.
