Mashed taters are so comforting and cozy. One of my favourite sides, and in some cases, the only thing I'm eating lol. Yellow taters, hot cream & butter, cracked pepper Boursin, and heaps of scallions.

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Add the chopped taters to a pot and fill with cold water to cover them them. Stir in 1 tsp. salt and bring the taters to a boil. Once boiled, let them cook for 13 - 16 minutes until fork tender. Cook time depends on the size they're chopped, but I'd say to keep an eye after the 13 minute mark.
In the meantime, add your cream & butter to a small, covered pot set to low. Leave covered until it's time to mash.
Once the taters are fork tender, turn off the burner and strain your taters. Return the taters back to the pot and back onto the burner that is now off. Pour in the hot cream / butter mixture. I cut the Boursin into 4 pieces and then added that into the pot as well. Use a potato masher to mash everything together quickly, some chunks are totally ok as I prefer that personally. Once your taters are mashed, shift to a rubber spatula and fold in about 1/2 Tsp. salt, as much cracked pepper as your heart desires, and the green onions until combined. Taste your mash and adjust your salt / pepper if needed.
Transfer your mash to a serving bowl and make a well in the center. Drop in a few pads of butter, season the entire top of the mash with cracked pepper and your reserved green onions. ENJOY!
