Description
These Asiago Herb Mashed Potatoes are cheesy, creamy and dreamy. Add in fresh herbs to brighten the dish and you have a perfect mouthful in every bite.
Ingredients
- 5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded Asiago cheese
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with just enough water to cover the tops of the potatoes. Place it over medium-high heat and bring the pot to a low boil. Gently boil the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain.
- Either using the same pot or a large bowl with the potatoes in it, add in the heavy cream, Asiago cheese and butter. Use a hand mixer to blend the potatoes together until smooth. Fold in the fresh thyme and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Can you leave skins on?
Yes you can! They will be more like “smashed” potatoes and have more of a texture instead of just creaminess.
