Whipped Potatoes

  • 3 lbs russet potatoes, washed, peeled and cut into 2 inch dice
  • 4 tbsp Kosher Salt
  • 1½ c Half & Half (half whole milk and half heavy cream can be substituted)
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 5.2 oz pkg. Boursin Cheese, Garlic and Herb Flavor
  • ¼ c Chives, chopped fine
  • ¼ c Parsley, chopped fine
  • 1 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Preparation

  1. Peel and dice potatoes into 1-2 inch chunks.
  2. Soak them in water for a few minutes or rinse them under running water.
  3. Place them in a large heavy bottom pot, and cover the potatoes with cold water until the water line is about 1 inch above the potatoes (This is important, too much water can change the texture of your final recipe).
  4. Add the salt and place over medium high heat. Allow the water to come to a boil and then reduce the heat until it is at a bare simmer.
  5. Allow the potatoes to cook until fork tender, this should take about 45 minutes.
  6. Drain the potatoes well in a strainer or colander. Return the pot to the stove and add in the half & half as well as the butter, heat the mixture until the butter is melted and the half and half is at a bare simmer (be careful not to burn the half & half).
  7. Add the Boursin Cheese to the hot dairy mixture.
  8. Add the hot potatoes to a stand mixture fitted with a whip attachment.
  9. Add in the butter, half & half, and the boursin cheese mixture. Turn the mixer on low speed and gradually increase the speed as the liquid gets incorporated into the potatoes.  Whip on medium high speed for about a minute until the potatoes are light and airy.
  10. Reduce the speed on the mixer to low and add in the chives and parsley
  11. Adjust the seasoning with freshly ground black pepper and keep warm or serve immediately.
