- 3/4 cup whole milk or milk of choice, lightly warmed- plus more if needed
- 1/3 cup sour cream or crème fraîche
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for topping
- 4 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 3 tablespoons boursin® garlic & fine herbs cheese- optional
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped chives, as garnish- optional
Instructions
- Peel and quarter the yukon gold potatoes, or wash them well if leaving the skin on.
- Place the potatoes in a large dutch oven or stock pot and cover with cool water, adding a few pinches of kosher salt.
- Bring the pot to medium-high heat and cook the potatoes for 20-25 minutes until fork-tender.
- Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and ricer them back into the warm pot in batches.
- Mix in the warm milk, sour cream, butter, mascarpone, optional boursin cheese, and garlic paste until combined. Season with salt and pepper, adding more milk if needed.
- Serve the mashed potatoes in a large bowl with melted butter, freshly ground pepper, and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Notes
For creamier potatoes, add extra milk gradually until you achieve the desired consistency.
Mashed potatoes can be kept warm in a covered bowl over simmering water until ready to serve.
Make sure potatoes are well-drained after cooking to avoid watery mash.
