Equipment

  • 1 Pressure cooker optional
  • 1 Potato Ricer Highly recommended, but you can definitely use a traditional potato masher

Ingredients
  

  • 5-7 medium Yukon Gold potatoes peeled
  • ¼ C butter
  • ¼ C heavy cream
  • 1 pack Boursin cheese
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Butter & chives for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Add the potatoes and cover with water in a medium sized pan on the stove (the liquid should cover the potatoes). Turn the heat up to high and cover. Allow the potatoes to come to a boil.
  • Take of the lid and turn the heat down slightly. You want to liquid to still be boiling, but just not boiling over. Cook for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender all the way through.
  • Strain.
  • Using a spoon, place several potatoes at a time in the potato ricer, and force them through, back into the same pot you cooked the potatoes in. Repeat until all the potatoes are riced.
  • Add the butter, cream, Boursin, and salt to the pot. Mix until melted and well combined.
  • Serve with butter and chopped chives.

Notes

If you're not using a potato ricer, simply mash the potatoes in the pot, and then add the cream, butter, salt and Boursin and mix. 
For the Instant Pot: add potatoes and liquid to the pot, making sure the liquid comes up halfway on the potatoes. Shut the lid, set to "Pressure Cook" and set the timer for 15 minutes. Quick release when the timer goes off, and follow regular instructions from there.
