Boursin Mashed Potatoes
Serves about 6
Ingredients:
3 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and roughly cubed

1/4 to 1/2 cup half-and-half, brought to room temperature
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh chives for garnish
Directions:
1. Add the peeled and cubed potatoes to alarge pot. Add 1 tablespoon of Kosher salt. Add enough cold water to the pot to cover the potatoes.
2. Bring the potatoes to a full boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 20minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the water from the pot.
3. Add the butter to the potatoes. Mash the potatoes using a potato ricer or a potato masher. Add the Boursin cheese and continue mashing. Mix well. Add the half-and-half, and stir until smooth and evenly combined.
4. Taste the potatoes, then season well with additional Kosher salt and pepper.
