Instructions

Peel and quarter the yukon gold potatoes, or wash them if leaving the skins on.
Place the potatoes in a large dutch oven and cover with cool water. Add a pinch of kosher salt, then cook over medium-high heat until fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and, in batches, use a ricer to pass the potato chunks back into the warm pot.
Combine the riced potatoes with warmed milk, sour cream, butter, mascarpone, optional boursin, and garlic paste. Mix until fully combined and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Add more milk for desired creaminess if needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl, drizzle with melted butter, add fresh black pepper, and garnish with chopped chives if desired.

Notes

For an extra creamy texture, ensure the milk is warm before adding.
Feel free to experiment with different cheese options to enhance flavor.
Use fresh chives for garnish for added color and taste.
