Description
Deliciously creamy mashed potatoes made with Yukon Golds, butter, and Boursin cheese for added flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 – 4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (unpeeled, cut into similar-sized pieces)
- 2 boxes (32 oz each) low-sodium chicken stock
- ~4 cups water (or enough to fully cover potatoes)
- 1 cup half & half (room temperature)
- 1 stick (8 tbsp) butter (room temperature, cut into pieces)
- ½ block BOURSIN Garlic & Fine Herb Cheese
- 1 heaping tablespoon Dano’s Outlaw Butter Dust Seasoning
- Salt to taste
- 4 tablespoons butter (cut into dots)
- Chopped chives
Instructions
- Wash your Yukon Golds and cut them into even-sized chunks. No peeling needed!
- Place potatoes in a large pot. Pour in two boxes of chicken stock and enough water to completely cover.
- Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender.
- Drain & dry (my secret tip!).
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and give them a little shake.
- Immediately return them to the warm pot (heat off). This dries off excess moisture for fluffier potatoes.
- Add 1 cup half & half and begin mashing with your potato masher.
- Add the stick of butter and continue mashing until creamy.
- Mix in the BOURSIN Garlic & Fine Herb Cheese and the Dano’s Outlaw Butter Dust Seasoning.
- Mash/fold gently just until incorporated.
- Don’t overmix mashed potatoes — that’s what makes them gluey.
- A potato masher is all you need. No ricer, no blender, no hand mixer.
- Salt at the end, after all the mix-ins are added. Taste and adjust to your preference.
- Spoon into a serving dish. Dot the top with 4 tablespoons of butter, sprinkle with chives, and enjoy.
Notes
- Make sure to drain the potatoes well to remove excess moisture for fluffier results.
