Instructions

Peel and quarter the potatoes. If leaving skin on, wash thoroughly.
Place potatoes in a large dutch oven or stock pot and cover with cool water. Add a few pinches of kosher salt, then cook over medium-high heat for 20-25 minutes until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and transfer to a colander. Ricer the potatoes in batches back into the warm pot.
Combine the riced potatoes with milk, sour cream, butter, mascarpone, boursin (if using), and garlic paste. Stir until smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Adjust consistency with more milk if needed.
Serve in a large bowl topped with melted butter, black pepper, and chopped chives if preferred.

Notes

For an extra creamy texture, warm the milk before mixing it into the potatoes.
Adjust the amount of garlic paste according to your taste preferences to increase or decrease the garlic flavor.
These mashed potatoes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven.
