Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings 6 -8 people

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch chunks
  • 4 large garlic cloves
  • 1 Tbsp kosher salt
  • 4 oz garlic and herb goat cheese
  • 4 Tbsp butter room temperature
  • 1 C sour cream
  • 1/2 to 1 C half and half
  • 1 1/2 - 2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 pepper
  • 1/2 C grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 2 Q baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Place potatoes, garlic cloves, and 1 Tbsp kosher salt in a large pot and cover with water. Cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat, then lower heat to simmer until potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork, about 20-25 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes with garlic well and beat them using an electric hand mixer until small chunks remain. While still hot, add the goat cheese, butter, sour cream, enough half and half to get the moist consistency you want for mashed potatoes, 1 1/2 tsp salt and the pepper. Beat with electric mixer until smooth. Taste to see if additional salt is needed and add it if so.
  • Pour the mixture into the baking dish and smooth the top. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until lightly browned. Serve hot.
  • Enjoy!
