Create ultra-creamy, flavorful mashed potatoes by incorporating Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese. This simple recipe elevates a classic side dish for weeknight dinners or holiday feasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, warmed
  • 5.2 oz container Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot. Cover them with cold water and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
  2. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes completely in a colander. Return the hot, drained potatoes to the empty pot.
  4. Add the butter pieces to the hot potatoes. Let them sit for 2 minutes to begin melting.
  5. Using a potato masher or a hand mixer on low speed, mash the potatoes until they are mostly smooth. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour in the warm heavy whipping cream and continue to mash or mix until the potatoes reach your desired consistency.
  7. Add the softened Boursin cheese, salt, and pepper. Gently fold or mix until the cheese is incorporated and the potatoes are velvety smooth.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed before serving immediately as an easy side dish.

Notes

  • For an extra smooth texture, pass the cooked potatoes through a potato ricer before adding the dairy and cheese.
  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for naturally creamy mashed potatoes that require less mashing.
  • This recipe works well as a make-ahead side; gently reheat on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk if they become too thick.
