Boursin Mashed Potatoes

This recipe is unbelievably easy, and incredibly flavorful. It harnesses the power of a premade cheese blend to avoid most of the hassle normally associated with good mashed potatoes. Via Budget Bytes.

For the salt, I keep adding it and tasting until I feel subconsciously compelled to keep reaching back for another bite.

Boursin mashed potatoes
serves 6-8

Cut into one-inch cubes:
2.5 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes

Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by one inch. Place a lid on top and bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Boil for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are very tender.

Once the potatoes fall apart when poked with a fork, drain them in a colander. Return them to the warm pot (with the burner turned off).

Add and mash the potatoes to a rough consistency:
1/4 cup milk
1 5-oz. package Boursin "basil and chive" cheese

Add a further 1/4 cup milk, and mash/stir until mostly smooth.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in a squeeze of lemon juice to finish.
