Ingredients
3 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2” pieces
1/3 cup unsalted butter, room temp and cut into pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream, warmed
1/3 cup goat cheese, room temperature
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Place potato chunks in a large pot of cold, salted water. Over medium heat, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are easily piercable with a fork, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, and return cooked potatoes to the pot over low heat. Cook until the edges of the potato turn white.
Using a potato masher, handheld mixer, or ricer, mash and stir for 1 to 2 minutes, until potatoes are smooth and any remaining moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, heat cream in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add butter to potatoes and stir, then slowly add the hot cream and goat cheese to potatoes.
Stir until smooth. Add thyme and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add more cream or butter as needed to achieve the desired consistency. Garnish with fresh thyme and goat cheese crumbles and serve immediately.
