Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken broth, or water
- 3 pounds russet potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes – skins on or off, your choice
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 5.3 ounce Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs Cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, optional garnish
Instructions
- Bring the chicken broth to boil on the stove in a large stock pot.
- Once the broth is boiling, add the cubed potatoes to the chicken broth and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Remove ½ cup chicken broth from the pot and set it aside.
- Drain the potatoes, then add them back to the pot, or transfer them to a large mixing bowl, with the reserved ½ cup chicken broth, butter, Boursin, salt, and pepper.
- Use a handheld potato masher or electric hand mixer to mash the potatoes.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and optionally garnish with chopped chives.
Notes
- This recipe serves 6-8 people as a side dish. As a good rule of thumb, you always want to plan for about 1/2 pound of potatoes per person. If you want to double this recipe to serve 12-15 people at a holiday meal, simply click the 2X button above. The ingredient amounts will automatically update for the new serving size.
- To peel or not to peel the potatoes? That’s totally up to you! I’ve made this recipe with skins on and off. Sometimes, I like the skin for a little texture and other times, I peel the skins to make the mashed potatoes perfectly smooth and creamy. I’ll let you make the call on your preference!
- To make these potatoes vegetarian, replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth.
- These potatoes are naturally gluten free. Always make sure the chicken bouillon, or chicken broth, used is gluten free.
- Store mashed potato leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.
- To reheat them in the microwave, scoop a single portion of mashed potatoes onto a microwave-safe plate, or into a bowl, microwave for 1 minute, then stir in 1-2 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream and reheat for another minute.
- To reheat them in the oven, place the mashed potatoes in an oven-safe dish. Cover with foil and place in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove and stir in 2-4 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream before serving.
