MASHED POTATOES WITH HERB & GARLIC BOURSIN



Mashed Potatoes with Herb & Garlic Boursin image

Great cheesy potatoes

Provided by barbara lentz

Categories     Potatoes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 lb potatoes peeled
2 Tbsp butter
4 oz boursin garlic and herb cheese at room temp
salt & pepper
cream or milk if needed

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until soft. Drain and put through a ricer. Stir in the butter and cheese until creamy. If you need a little milk or cream to reach the right consistency add it now. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper.
  • 2. Rewarm if needed

Tips:

  • For the best results, use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes. These varieties have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth when mashed.
  • Peel and cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Bring the potatoes to a boil in salted water. This will help to remove some of the starch and make the potatoes less sticky.
  • Once the potatoes are tender, drain them well and return them to the pot.
  • Add the butter, milk, and seasonings to the potatoes and mash until smooth. Be careful not to overmix, or the potatoes will become gluey.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or keep them warm in a slow cooker on low heat.

Conclusion:

Garlic herb mashed potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them creamy or chunky, loaded with garlic and herbs or simple and understated, there is a recipe for garlic herb mashed potatoes that is perfect for you.
