Make ultra-creamy, velvety mashed potatoes instantly flavorful by adding Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese. This simple recipe elevates a classic side dish for weeknight meals or holiday feasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 package (5.2 oz) 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 and cover them with cold water by about one inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
  2. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  3. Drain the potatoes completely in a colander. Let them sit for 2 minutes to allow excess steam to escape. This step helps prevent watery mashed potatoes.
  4. Return the drained potatoes to the warm pot. Add the heavy cream and butter. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher until they are mostly smooth.
  5. Add the entire package of softened Boursin cheese to the potatoes. Continue mashing and stirring until the cheese is fully incorporated and the potatoes reach your desired velvety texture.
  6. Season with salt and pepper. Taste the potatoes and adjust seasoning as needed. If the potatoes are too thick, add a splash more warm cream until you reach the right consistency.
  7. Serve these gourmet mashed potatoes immediately.

Notes

  • For extra creamy mashed potatoes, warm the heavy cream and butter slightly before adding them to the potatoes.
  • You can substitute Russet potatoes for Yukon Gold, but Yukon Golds naturally provide a richer, creamier texture.
  • If you are making these ahead of time for a holiday side dish, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring in a little extra cream or milk to restore moisture.
