Boursin mashed potatoes are your special occasion friend—incredibly creamy and full of flavor, and they’ll impress your guests while barely adding a minute to your prep time. Use different flavors of Boursin to change things up; the black truffle and sea salt flavor is another favorite of mine.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks

  • 1/3 cup half-and-half, or as needed, warmed

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

  • 1 (5.2-ounce) package soft French cheese, such as Boursin® Garlic and Fine Herbs Cheese, roughly chopped

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Lightly salt the water and cover the pot with a lid. Bring to a boil and cook potatoes until soft when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes and return to pot; place over low heat for about a minute to remove excess water from the potatoes.

  2. Add in half-and-half, butter, and Boursin® cheese. Mash with a potato masher until desired consistency. Add in additional half-and-half, 1 tablespoon at a time, if potatoes are too thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper; garnish with chives before serving.
