Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling and chopping your Yukon Gold potatoes into even chunks, about 1-2 inches in size.
  2. In a large pot, add the chopped Yukon Gold potatoes and cover them with cold water. Sprinkle in a generous pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the water to a rolling boil and let the potatoes cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes.
  4. Return the drained potatoes to the warm pot and let them sit for about 5 minutes to dry.
  5. Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth.
  6. Incorporate the Boursin cheese, unsalted butter, and whole milk into the mashed potatoes. Stir gently until combined.
  7. Taste and add salt and pepper according to your preference. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired!
