Instructions

Peel and quarter the potatoes. If keeping the skins on, wash thoroughly first.
Place the potatoes in a large dutch oven or pot, cover with cool water, and add a few pinches of kosher salt. Cook over medium-high heat for 20-25 minutes until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes in a colander. Using a ricer, process the potatoes in batches back into the warm pot.
Stir in the milk, sour cream, butter, mascarpone, boursin (if using), and garlic paste until combined. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adding more milk for desired consistency.
Serve in a large bowl topped with melted butter, freshly ground pepper, and garnish with chives, if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding roasted garlic into the potatoes.
Adjust the consistency by adding more milk as needed to achieve a creamier texture.
Make it a day ahead and reheat gently before serving. Warm milk helps maintain the creamy texture.
