    Boursin mashed potato recipe

    Make weeknight or Sunday dinner extra special with this super easy yet flavourful garlic, cheese, and herb-infused mashed potatoes. it is light, fluffy, and utterly delicious and you only need a handful of ingredients to make it.

    I added extra roasted garlic to this Boursin cheese mashed potatoes because you can't have too much garlic in your mash, but feel free to omit it if you want and ok with the garlic in the cheese.

    The great thing about this recipe is that it can be easily tailored to your liking. If you want a little more garlic flavor, simply add more roasted garlic. If you want a little less cheesy flavor, you can reduce the amount of Boursin cheese.
