Who else loves mashed potatoes?! One of my favorite ways to have them this season has been to make this garlic herb cheese mashed red potatoes recipe.  While the name might be a mouthful, it is essentially mashed potatoes made with red potatoes that you add garlic herb boursin cheese into to give it a creamy texture and flavor that is hard to top.

Now these mashed potatoes are perfect for everything from being a side dish that’s a part of a regular weeknight meal to being a part of your holiday spread.  I am so excited to whip these tasty mashed potatoes up and serve them on Thanksgiving day!
