Notes
Expert Tips
- Salt your water. Much like with pasta, you only get one shot to flavor the actual potatoes. Don’t miss the opportunity!
- Cut potatoes into even pieces. Making sure they’re all the same-ish size will ensure even cooking, preventing you from having unwanted chunks or lumps of uncooked taters in the mix.
- Bring Boursin to room temp & warm your cream to prevent them from cooling your mashies down too much before you get a chance to serve them.
- Grate your own parmesan. It will taste better and melt better if you do.
- Grind your own pepper. The pre-ground powder in a tin just can’t hold a candle to freshly cracked!
