For the Crispy Shallots:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 Shallots, thinly sliced

For the Potatoes:

  • 3 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled
  • cup heavy whipping cream
  • 5.2 ounce package Boursin Shallot & Chive Gournay Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
 

For the Crispy Shallots:

  • Melt the butter with the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
    1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 Shallots, thinly sliced
  • Add the shallots and saute until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Set aside while you prepare the potatoes.

For the Potatoes:
