Ingredients
3lbmedium red potatoespeeled
7oz(or 1.25 packages) of herb and garlic cream cheesesuch as Boursin
Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mash peeled potatoes in a large bowl with a potato masher until smooth. Lightly fold cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of butter. Add freshly ground pepper. Stir in ¾ cup of buttermilk stirring just until fluffy, but do not overmix. Add chopped chives.
Spoon the mashed potato mixture into a lightly greased 3-quart baking dish (we used our trusty cast iron pan). Dot top of potatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cover with aluminum foil.
Bake, covered, at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 15-20 more minutes or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with additional chives before serving.
