Categories     Potato

Time 1h45m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
4 garlic cloves
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 cup sour cream
2 (3 1/2 ounce) packages boursin cheese (or other garlic-herb cream cheese)
1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes and garlic in salted water to cover until tender; drain.
  • Preheat the oven to 350° degrees; rub a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons butter.
  • Sprinkle the parmesan cheese into the dish and tip the dish so the cheese is evenly distributed and adheres to the butter.
  • Put the potatoes and garlic into a large bowl, add the sour cream, Boursin, 2 tablespoons of the remaining butter, and the chives.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the potatoes until smooth.
  • Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer to the prepared dish and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
  • **At this point, you can cover and refrigerate for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
  • Bring to room temperature before continuing.
  • Bake the potatoes until golden, about 25 minutes; serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: Yukon Gold, Russet, and red potatoes all have different textures and flavors, so combining them creates a more complex dish.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and bland. Cook them until they are just tender, but still have a little bit of bite to them.
  • Use real butter: Butter adds a rich, creamy flavor to mashed potatoes. If you use margarine or oil, the potatoes will be less flavorful.
  • Add plenty of garlic: Garlic is the star of this dish, so don't be shy about adding it. You can use fresh garlic, garlic powder, or even roasted garlic.
  • Season to taste: Mashed potatoes should be seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika.
  • Make ahead: Mashed potatoes can be made up to 3 days in advance. Simply store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, reheat them over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Conclusion:

Make-ahead garlic mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be made ahead of time. They are perfect for busy weeknights or holiday gatherings. With a few simple tips, you can make the best mashed potatoes you've ever tasted.
