I don’t think mashed potatoes need much to make them amazing. Even with a little butter and salt their great. So I made a recipe that only needs 5 ingredients. Yes, only 5. That also includes salt and pepper. So really, it’s only 3 ingredients. Don’t you love a simple recipe? I know I do.
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and the last thing you want is a million recipes that require a million ingredients. Make these mash potatoes and save yourself some time and money. Truly, they are the best ever. The Boursin cheese adds so many different spices and flavors. It’s like 5 ingredients in one. How good is that?
Have a bigger crowd than 8 for thanksgiving? Double the recipe and you’re good to go!
