How to make brie mashed potatoes?
First, fill a stock pot half-full with water and sprinkle in some salt for added flavor. Next, peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch chunks and add them to the water.
Afterward, bring the potatoes to a boil and let them cook for 20-25 minutes or until they’re soft. Now, drain the water and transfer the cooked potatoes to a mixing bowl.
Then, combine the potatoes, brie cheese, heavy cream, butter, salt, thyme, and pepper. At this point, you have a choice. You can use an electric hand mixer or a potato masher to combine everything.
Last, once all the ingredients have been properly incorporated, serve the dish while it’s hot. That’s it, your brie mashed potatoes recipe is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy it and wish you all the best 🙂
Recipe Tips:
- Remember, peeling the potatoes is optional. If you like potato skins, then leave them on. If not, then peel the potatoes before boiling.
- Try and cut the taters into equal sized pieces so that they will cook evenly.
- A potato masher will create mashed potatoes. Whereas, an electric hand mixer tends to create creamed potatoes. Just something to keep in mind when deciding which tool to use for your recipe.
- If you don’t want to use heavy cream or milk, try using vegetable or chicken stock instead. Either substitution will work.
