- 800 g potatoes 4 large
- 150 g Boursin garlic and herb variety
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 50 ml milk semi skimmed
- ½ teaspoon salt adjust if you are using salted butter
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Peel the potatoes and chop roughly into pieces of about 1 centimetre or half an inch.
Put the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with hot water from a kettle.
Add the salt and bring to a boil with the lid on then simmer the potatoes for about 10 minutes, until they are tender enough for a fork to penetrate.
Drain the potatoes into a colander or carefully use the lid.
Return the potatoes to the saucepan.
Add the Boursin cheese, milk, butter and pepper to the pan.
If you are using nutmeg, add this now too.
Put the heat onto very low.
Use the potato masher to mix the ingredients together until smooth.
Pile the cheesy mashed potatoes into a serving dish.
If liked, drizzle over some extra melted butter and a scattering of fresh chives.
Serve.
