I happen to love regular mashed potatoes, but if you want to jazz it up for company or the holidays, this super easy dish is for you. It needs almost 2 hours in the oven, but that is mostly hands off time, when you can be doing something else.
This recipe is from Caroline Chambers.
Roasted Boursin Mashed Potatoes Recipe
4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
3 cups whole milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (5.2-ounce) container Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
Put the cut potatoes, the milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper in a wide pot (like a braiser) or a baking dish (like a large Pyrex) — a pot is ideal though so that you can keep it warm on the stovetop later. The milk should mostly cover the potatoes — if it doesn’t, add a little more.
Cover the pot/baking dish with a lid (if it doesn’t have a lid, you could use aluminum foil or a sheet pan as a lid instead).
Bake for 1 hour. Remove the cover, stir the potatoes, and add 1 container Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs right on top. Return to the oven to bake for 45 more minutes UNCOVERED.
Remove from the oven and mash! I used a potato masher but you could use that back of a spoon.
Season to taste with more salt and pepper (you will probably want a lot more salt!). You could also add garlic powder, butter, or Parmesan.
Keep warm on the stove, or serve immediately.
Yum! Enjoy!
