Creamy mashed potatoes enriched with the smoky flavor of Gouda cheese, offering a delightful twist on a classic side dish.

 

Ingredients

– 2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered

– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced

– 1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature

– 1/2 to 3/4 cup heavy cream or half-and-half, warmed

– 2 cups (about 4 1/2 ounces) finely grated smoked Gouda cheese

– Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt.

2. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit over low heat for a minute to evaporate any remaining moisture.

4. Add the sliced butter to the potatoes and begin mashing until the butter is melted and incorporated.

5. Stir in the sour cream and warmed heavy cream (starting with ½ cup), continuing to mash until the mixture is smooth. Add additional heavy cream as needed to reach your desired consistency.

6. Fold in the grated smoked Gouda cheese until fully melted and combined.

7. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

8. Serve warm, garnished with additional butter or chopped fresh herbs if desired.

 

Notes

– For a smoother texture, use a potato ricer instead of a masher.

– Ensure the sour cream is at room temperature to prevent curdling.

– Adjust the amount of heavy cream to achieve your preferred potato consistency.

– Garnish with chopped chives or parsley for added color and flavor.
