Ingredients

4 Large Potatoes Yukon Gold or Russet
1/4 cup Heavy Cream
4 oz. Boursin Cheese Sub with herbed cream cheese or sour cream
4 tbsp. Butter Use a higher quality if possible
2 tsp. Kosher Salt
2 tsp White or Black Pepper
Fresh Chives to garnish

Instructions

Begin by peeling the potatoes and dicing them into 1-inch pieces.
Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover them with water. Place them on the stove over high heat and bring the potatoes to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the temperature to medium heat if needed (to prevent it from boiling over). Allow the potatoes to cook until for tender, about 6-8 minutes after boiling begins.
When a fork can easily pierce through the potato, it's done. Remove it from the stove and strain out the hot water in a colander. Place the hot potatoes into the large bowl of the stand mixer.
Add the butter, cream, boursin cheese, salt, and pepper.
Using the paddle attachment, whip the potatoes on the lowest speed for about 20-30 seconds. Use a rubber spatula and scrap down the sides and mix again until there are no more lumps. DO NOT OVER MIX. Mixing should take a few minutes max at best.
Taste test the potatoes and adjust seasonings as desired. transfer the whipped potatoes from the Kitchen Aid mixer to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chives and melted butter if desired.
