Creamy Boursin Mashed Potatoes

These Creamy Boursin Mashed Potatoes are the ultimate comfort side and a total crowd-pleaser! We make them from scratch using peeled red potatoes boiled until perfectly tender. The secret to making them irresistibly creamy? 👀 Boursin cheese! And of course, plenty of butter to make them rich, flavorful, and downright dreamy. They come together quickly, so you can have a decadent side ready even on busy nights.

The flavor in every bite is incredible. The Boursin adds a subtle herby tang that makes these mashed potatoes stand out, while the butter gives them that classic, silky smooth richness. The potatoes are soft, creamy, and full of flavor, making them the perfect complement to any main dish.

Our family goes crazy for these! They pair amazing with our Crockpot Mississippi Pot Roast, soaking up all those delicious juices, but they also go with chicken, pork, or even a simple weeknight dinner. The combination of creamy texture and bold flavor keeps everyone coming back for seconds, and sometimes thirds!

Best of all, these Creamy Boursin Mashed Potatoes are versatile and quick to make. Even on a hectic day, you can pull together a side that tastes like it took hours of effort. Rich, creamy, flavorful, and totally satisfying, these potatoes elevate every meal and make dinner feel extra special.

FAQ

Can I make these mashed potatoes ahead of time?

Yes! You can make them earlier in the day and store them in the fridge. When you are ready to serve, reheat gently and stir in a splash of milk or cream to bring back the creamy texture.

Can I use a different type of potato?

Absolutely. Yukon Gold potatoes work great and still give you a creamy texture. Red potatoes are our favorite, but both options taste delicious.

What flavor of Boursin works best?

Garlic and Herb Boursin works perfectly, but you can experiment with other flavors like Shallot & Chive (use one of each!) if you want to change things up. Each one adds its own fun twist.
