We always think of the main dish, but sometimes forget about the sides. Side dishes are so simple but always complement the main. My favorite sides include buttered noodles, cream cheese pasta, blanched broccoli, lemon rice, and these extra flavorful mashed potatoes. Whether you decide to roast a chicken, make easy chicken tenders, or grill a steak, these mashed potatoes always fit the bill. Seriously, give this recipe a try, and you’ll be obsessed with it! Make Boursin mashed potatoes on a busy weeknight, family dinner, or for your holiday spread.

Ingredients In Recipe
You only need a few simple ingredients to make the best mashed potatoes! Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Potatoes: The type of potatoes you choose is very important. For luscious and fluffy mashed potatoes, go for a starchy potatoes such as Yukon Golds. Avoid waxy potatoes like russets or red potatoes. If you’re in the UK, go for Maris Piper potatoes. Peel the potatoes and cut into 1 inch cubes so they cook evenly and quickly.Boursin: Boursin is a type of Gournay cheese, it’s savory, soft, and creamy and comes in different flavors. For this recipe, you want to look for the garlic and herb one.Butter: I can’t imagine making mashed potatoes without butter! This recipe does not need much though. I like to use unsalted butter to be able to control the amount of salt that goes into my food, but if you’re using salted butter then reduce the amount of salt indicated in the recipe card below. You can use melted butter, but I just use room temperature butter as it melts from the heat of the potatoes.Milk: To make the mashed potatoes fluffier, add a splash of milk (up to a quarter cup). I use whole milk for richer texture, you can also use half and half if that’s what you have.Salt and Pepper are the final touches that I add to season the dish!
