Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 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. If leaving the skin on, wash them beforehand.
- Place the potatoes in a large dutch oven or stock pot, covering them with cool water and sprinkling in kosher salt. Cook over medium-high heat for 20-25 minutes until fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander. Work in batches to rice the potatoes, pressing them through a ricer into the warm pot until all are riced.
- Mix in the warmed milk, sour cream, butter, mascarpone, boursin (if using), and garlic paste until fully combined. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl, adding melted butter, freshly ground black pepper, and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Notes
For creamier potatoes, make sure the butter and other dairy ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
If you don’t have a ricer, you can use a potato masher, but the texture will be a bit different.
