Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Red potatoes washed and cubed
  • 6 cups Water or enough to cover the potatoes in the pot
  • 1 container Boursin cheese garlic herb flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Butter unsalted
  • ½ - 1 cup Heavy cream substitute milk
  • 1 teaspoon Seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic and herb seasoning

Instructions

  • Clean the potatoes thoroughly and then cut them into cubes. Place the cut potatoes into a large stock pot and cover them with water. 
  • Bring them to a low boil on the stove over medium high heat. Allow them to boil for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork tender. 
  • Drain the water out of the potatoes and add them back to the pot. Now add in your boursin cheese, butter, and heavy cream. Start by adding just ½ cup of heavy cream, and add more to get your desired consistency.
  • Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes while simultaneously blending in the cheese, butter, and cream.
  • Once the potatoes are a smooth-like consistency, sprinkle in the seasoned salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and garlic and herb seasoning. 
  • Use a spoon to mix the seasonings into the mashed red potatoes until it is fully combined. 
  • Serve right away, and enjoy!
