RECIPE — What’s This Utter Disappointment Of A Mashed Potato Recipe With Boursin Cheese?

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. — Hippocrates

Ah, a Boursin mashed potato recipe. Finally, something with a bit of sophistication. Let’s get started, shall we?

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
• 1/3 cup half-and-half, or as needed, warmed
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 (5.2-ounce) package soft French cheese, such as Boursin® Garlic and Fine Herbs Cheese, roughly chopped
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Directions:

1. Place the peeled and chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Lightly salt the water and cover the pot with a lid. Bring to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are soft when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes.
2. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat for about a minute to remove excess water from the potatoes.
3. Add in the half-and-half, melted butter, and chopped Boursin cheese. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to the desired consistency. If the potatoes are too thick, add in additional half-and-half, 1 tablespoon at a time. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Garnish with the minced fresh chives before serving.

Wine Pairing

For a dish as elegant as this, I would recommend pairing it with a lovely Chardonnay. Look for a bottle of Rombauer Vineyards Chardonnay. Its buttery and creamy notes will complement the richness of the Boursin mashed potatoes beautifully. Cheers!
