Instructions

Peel and quarter the potatoes, rinsing well if leaving the skin on.
Place the potatoes in a large dutch oven and cover them with cool water, adding a few pinches of kosher salt.
Bring to a medium-high heat and boil the potatoes for 20-25 minutes until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and process them in batches through a ricer back into the warm pot.
Mix in the milk, sour cream, butter, mascarpone, boursin cheese (if using), and garlic paste, stirring until combined.
Season with kosher salt and black pepper, adding more milk if you want a creamier texture.
Serve in a bowl garnished with melted butter, cracked pepper, and chopped chives, if desired.

Notes

For a creamier texture, add more warm milk gradually until reaching your desired consistency.
Using yukon gold potatoes results in a creamier mash compared to other varieties.
Feel free to add roasted garlic for extra flavor.
