Equipment

1 large pot
1 potato masher

Ingredients

2 lbs yukon gold potatoes washed and quartered (peel if desired but I didn't)
1/4 cup salted butter softened
5 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp chicken or vegetable bouillon paste I use Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base
1/2 cup milk
black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 5-ounce package Garlic and Fine Herbs Boursin Cheese
2 Tbsp finely chopped chives plus more for topping

Instructions

Add potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes fall apart when pierced with a fork. While your potatoes are cooking, measure the remaining ingredients because you'll have to work quickly. Drain potatoes and keep them outside of the pot.
Working quickly, adjust the heat to medium-low. Add butter and melt completely. Then, add your garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes or until just fragrant, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat. Immediately add back your potatoes along with bouillon, milk, pepper, salt, boursin, and chives.
Mash until smooth, but don't over-mash! Taste and adjust salt as needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with more chives. Serve immediately.

Notes

2 lbs is about 5-6 medium potatoes
