Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 3/4 cup whole milk or milk of choice, lightly warmed- plus more if needed
- 1/3 cup sour cream or crème fraîche
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for topping

Instructions
- Peel and quarter the yukon gold potatoes. Optionally, leave the skin on after washing.
- Place the potatoes in a large dutch oven and cover with cool water. Add a few pinches of kosher salt. Cook over medium-high heat for 20-25 minutes until fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and pass them through a ricer back into the warm pot, working in batches.

- Serve in a bowl topped with melted butter, cracked pepper, and chopped chives, if desired.
Notes
For creamier potatoes, make sure to use warm milk.
You can substitute boursin cheese with any garlic-flavored cheese if needed.
For added flavor, consider roasting the garlic before adding it into the potatoes.
