Transform your classic mashed potatoes into a gourmet side dish instantly by incorporating Boursin cheese. This recipe delivers a velvety texture and rich, savory flavor perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday feasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 package (5.2 oz) Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold, salted water.
  2. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  3. Drain the potatoes completely and return them to the hot, empty pot. Let them sit for 2 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
  4. While the potatoes dry slightly, heat the heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts and the cream is steaming. Do not boil.
  5. Mash the potatoes thoroughly using a potato masher or a ricer until they are smooth.
  6. Add the softened Boursin cheese to the mashed potatoes. Mix gently until the cheese is just incorporated.
  7. Gradually pour in the warm cream and butter mixture while continuing to mix until you reach your desired creamy consistency.
  8. Stir in the salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Serve your steakhouse style potatoes immediately for the best texture.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, substitute half of the heavy cream with whole milk or buttermilk.
  • You can make this a make ahead party side by preparing the potatoes through step 5, chilling them, and then reheating them slowly with the warm cream mixture before adding the Boursin cheese.
  • Yukon Gold potatoes provide a naturally buttery flavor and creamy texture that works well with this recipe.
