Boursin Mashed Potatoes

It’s Thanksgiving time, and that means it’s time for mashed potatoes! I polled my audience on their favorite Thanksgiving sides, and mashed potatoes were overwhelmingly one of the main answers. I wanted to put a little spin on mashed potatoes and thought, why not add some boursin cheese?!

This recipe is based on my family’s favorite mashed potato recipe by Food Network: Grainy Mustard Mashed Potatoes. The potatoes are cooked in a mixture of milk and cream, so they are extra rich and creamy. Fold in the boursin cheese at the end for extra creamy flavorful surprise.

Ingredients

  • 4-5 lb yukon gold potatoes, quartered

  • 3 cups milk (I use 2 percent)

  • 1 bay leave

  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 5oz Boursin cheese

Directions

  • Add potatoes, cream, milk, garlic, thyme and bay leaf into a large saucepan and gently boil for 20 minutes until potatoes are fork tender.

  • Strain potatoes and reserve the cream mixture but discard the bay leaf and thyme stems.

  • Mash the potatoes (I use a hand mixer) and fold in the cream mixture until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. I start with about a cup of the cream and keep adding until smooth.

  • Mash in butter and Boursin cheese.

  • Season with salt and pepper as desired.
