Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup vegetable broth divided
  • 5 ounces Boursin garlic and herb cheese
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted

Instructions

  • Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with water by 1 inch. Add the salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are very soft.
  • While the potatoes cook, set a small saucepan over low heat and add the vegetable broth. Gently simmer just until warm, then set aside.
  • Drain the potatoes well, then return them to the warm pot. Let them stand for 1 minute so the extra moisture can evaporate.
  • Pour in ½ cup of the warm broth and mash to your preferred consistency. If the potatoes feel too thick, add a little more broth, as needed.
  • While the potatoes are still hot, add the Boursin cheese. Stir until fully melted and incorporated.
  • Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  • Stir in half of the parsley and chives.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the remaining herbs. Drizzle with melted butter, and serve warm.
