Essentials Ingredients for Mashed Potatoes with Boursin Cheese
To make Creamy Boursin Mashed Potatoes you need:
Potatoes: I used russet potatoes. Russet potatoes need to be peeled before boiling. Feel free to use new baby potatoes; they have thin and soft skin; they do not need to be peeled.
Boursin Cheese: Feel free to use your favorite Boursin cheese. Garlic and herb flavor is the most delicious cheese in this recipe. You can find it in the cheese section of your grocery store. You can buy the 3-pack at Costco.
Cream Cheese: You can use unflavored cream cheese or use garlic herb cream cheese in this recipe.
Butter: Use high-quality butter: Kerry gold butter works wonder in this recipe.
Cheese: Use your favorite cheese and broil until golden on top. In this recipe, I used Mexican blend cheese.
Boursin Cheese Mashed Potatoes Tips:
