Ingredients
3
pounds
Yukon gold potatoes
peeled and cut into large cubes
⅓
cup
2% milk
plus more as needed
3
tablespoons
salted butter
5.2
ounces
Boursin cheese with garlic and fine herbs
Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
I started with 1 teaspoon salt and 12 cracks of black pepper
Instructions
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a large pinch of salt and bring to a boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
Drain the potatoes and add back into the pot. Place the pot over medium heat and stir for 30 seconds or until any excess water has evaporated.
Remove from the heat and add the milk and butter. Use a potato masher or hand mixer to mash until almost smooth.
Add the cheese and finish mashing to your desired consistency.
Taste and add salt and pepper if desired, stirring with a large spoon until incorporated.
Serve hot.

Notes
Tips for customizing mashed potatoes with Boursin
Add a few cloves of roasted garlic before mashing
Use the vegan version of Boursin as well as vegan butter and milk to make vegan mashed potatoes
Swap the garlic & herbs flavor of cheese for one of the other flavors available (shallot & chive or caramelized onion & herb would be delicious!)
Make my cheesy crockpot mashed potatoes but swap the gruyere for Boursin
Add more milk a little at a time if you prefer looser mashed potatoes
To cut down on calories, you can leave out the butter
