Ingredients
This cheesy and savory side dish recipe doesn’t require anything complicated! Here’s what you need:
- Yukon gold potatoes
- Boursin cheese (garlic & herbs)
- Butter – (European butter is a favorite option)
- Salt (or to taste)
- Heavy cream
Optional garnish: chives or scallion greens
Instructions
Cut the potatoes into one inch cubes. Add them to a large pot or dutch oven. Add enough water so that they are covered by about one inch of cold water and boil until a sharp knife easily pierces them.
I didn’t peel the potatoes I used for this recipe, but you can if you prefer. We like the rustic texture that the skins provide to the finished dish.
Just give them a good scrub beforehand to remove any dirt.
After the potatoes are cooked, drain the water.
Using the back of a wooden spoon or potato masher, mash the potatoes until slightly mashed up but still a little chunky.
Stir in the Boursin cheese, butter, salt and heavy cream until well combined and desired consistency is reached.
Optional: serve with chopped chives or scallion greens on top as a garnish.
Enjoy!
