Ingredients

• 2.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 5 ounces Boursin cheese (garlic & herb flavor)
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the kosher salt.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, heat the heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter has melted. Do not let it boil. Set aside.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes so the excess moisture evaporates.

Step 6

Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth.

Step 7

Add the heated cream and butter mixture to the potatoes, stirring to combine.

Step 8

Crumble the Boursin cheese into the potatoes and mix until fully incorporated and creamy.

Step 9

Season with freshly ground black pepper and additional salt if needed, to taste.

Step 10

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
