Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs Yukon gold potatoes
  • 4 oz butter, chopped into 1 inch slices 1 stick
  • 1 round Boursin cheese I used garlic and herbs variety
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese plus additional for topping
  • 2 tsp salt plus additional for seasoning and for boiling the potatoes
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp fresh chopped parsley for topping (*optional) Substitute with 1 tsp dried parsley

Roasted Garlic Bulbs

  • 2 whole garlic bulbs Use more if you prefer an intense garlic flavor
  • 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp of oil per garlic bulb
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary (*optional)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the roasted garlic bulbs by placing them on top of a sheet of aluminum foil. Slice off the tops of the bulbs until the garlic cloves are exposed. Drizzle olive oil over the exposed cloves and season with salt and pepper. Add a sprig of fresh rosemary if you have it. Wrap up the bulbs and place in the oven. Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes. If using the air fryer, bake at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes. Once the garlic is done cooking, set aside and let cool completely.
  • Peel the potatoes and chop into large chunks. Add to a large stockpot and fill with water until the potatoes are fully submerged. Add salt to the water until the water is salty like the sea. Bring the water to a boil then continue to cook at a low boil until a fork can be easily inserted (about 15-20 minutes).
  • Drain the potatoes and add to a large bowl. Add the butter, boursin cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Take the cooled roasted garlic bulbs and squeeze out the garlic cloves into the bowl.
  • Use a potato masher or ricer to achieve desired texture and consistency of mashed potatoes.
  • Transfer your potatoes to a serving bowl or platter and top with additional parmesan, salt, pepper, parsley, and an extra nob of butter.
