Ingredients
- 4 pounds russet potatoes peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt plus more for boiling potatoes
- 1 cup to 1¼ cups whole milk heated
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5.2 ounces (1 package) Boursin cheese
- Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley, thyme, or chives if desired)
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water by 2 inches and add a teaspoon or so of kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until fork-tender but not falling apart, about 30 minutes; drain.
- Just before the potatoes are done, heat milk (on the stove or in the microwave) with the butter, just until the butter is melted and milk is warm.
- Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl or mixer with the whisk attachment. Mash, then beat (with a hand mixer, or stand mixer) on medium speed until finely crumbled.
- Add 1 cup milk, butter, 2 teaspoons salt, and Boursin cheese. Beat until very smooth. Add up to ¼ cup milk if needed to create a light, creamy texture. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
