Boursin Mashed Potatoes
Flavorful Boursin mashed potatoes make a delicious side dish for any meal. Herbed Boursin cheese takes a classic mashed potatoes recipe to the next level.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 4-5 large russet potatoes
- 1 5.2 ounce Boursin cheese
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2-3 tablespoons half and half
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Clean and peel the potatoes. Cut them into chunks. Place them in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Boil for about 20 minutes or until fork tender. Make sure not to over boil.
- Drain the potatoes and transfer them into a mixing bowl. Lightly mash.
- Add in softened butter and Boursin cheese. Whip with the mixer.
- Pour in 2-3 tablespoons of warmed 1/2 and 1/2. Mix until just combined. Add in salt and pepper. Serve warm.
Notes
- Large chunks. Cut the potatoes in larger chunks so they don't fall apart when boiling.
- Don't over boil. Make sure not to over cook the potatoes.
- Don't over mix. Using a mixer makes it very fast to whip up the potatoes but you can easily over mix them. Mix until they are just combined.
- Don't forget to soften butter. Softening the butter makes it easier for it to blend in with the potatoes.
- If potatoes or too thick, add a little extra half and half.
- Warm the half and half. I like to microwave my half and half for about 10 seconds to warm it through.
- Other flavors. There are several flavors of Boursin cheese. Any of them will work well.
