By á-14060

Ingredients

• 8-10 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• Salt
• 5 to 6 ounces Boursin garlic-and-herb soft cow’s milk cheese, fresh ricotta or goat cheese with herbs
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups warm milk and/or stock
• 1/4 cup minced parsley, chives and thyme
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest
• 2 cloves grated or pasted garlic, optional
• Pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Cover potatoes with cold water and bring to boil. Salt water and cook potatoes to tender. Drain and return to hot pot to dry them out a bit.

Mash potatoes with soft cheese of choice, warm milk and/or stock, herbs, lemon zest and garlic; season with salt and pepper to taste.

To hold mashed potatoes, cover and place pan in 1 inch of simmering water in a larger pan, making a bain marie to keep potatoes warm without changing their consistency.
