Notes
Stovetop Direction -
Prepare the Potatoes: Start by peeling the russet potatoes and cutting them evenly-sized chunks. This will help them cook evenly and more quickly.
Boil the Potatoes: Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water level is about 1 inch above the potatoes. Bring the potatoes to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the Potatoes: Carefully drain the potatoes in a colander once they are tender. Allow them to sit for a minute or two to let any excess water evaporate.
Mash the Potatoes: Return the drained potatoes to the pot or transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the butter, milk, sour cream, and Boursin cheese to the hot potatoes. Add salt to taste, you may not need the entire 2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Using a potato masher, an electric mixer, mash the potatoes until you reach your desired consistency.
Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste the mashed potatoes and add more salt if needed. You can also adjust the consistency by adding more milk if the potatoes are too thick. Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or an extra pat of butter if desired.
Store leftover mashed potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
