  BOURSIN Mashed Potatoes: Dice yellow gold potatoes into bite sized pieces, place in pot, fill with water and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender, then drain water In a separate saucepan add: Milk(I do about 1 cup per 4 potatoes) 1/2 stick of butter Thyme sprigs 2 cloves of smashed garlic Bring to a simmer Once potatoes are drained, start by adding a little bit of the milk mixture at a time while mashing potatoes. Do this until you get the desired consistency. Next crumble in 3/4 of the package of boursin cheese and fold that into the potatoes until it's melted and combined.
