BOURSIN TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes carefully and pierce each side with a fork to release steam while cooking.
• Bake for approximately 1 hour at 350 degrees or microwave approximately 13 minutes on high until they are soft on all sides.
• Once removed from the oven or microwave, allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes until you can easily handle them.
• Once they can be handled easily, slice off the flat side neatly and remove the potato carefully with a soupspoon, being careful not to rip the skin.
• Place the hot potato into a mixing bowl.
• Mash the potato with a hand masher, mixer or potato ricer and add the Boursin cheese and butter.
• Mix well.
• Add the milk slowly while mashing until the consistency is that of mashed potatoes.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Once the potato mix is perfect, stuff it back into the potato skins, making sure that the potato mix sits high above the skin.
• Sprinkle with paprika and cracked green peppercorns for flavor and color.
• Before serving, reheat in the oven or microwave.
