"I actually love a food mill because as opposed to pureeing something so it's really smooth or mashing it so it's really chunky, it's kind of in between. It's got a lot of texture but it's very smooth."

With the potatoes prepped, the chef then adds the star ingredient - 8 oz of garlic and herb goat cheese. This creamy, tangy cheese is the perfect complement to the buttery Yukon Golds. To further enhance the richness, the chef incorporates half a cup of half-and-half, 1.5 cups of sour cream, and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter.

"I know there's more cream and butter in this and there are potatoes, but it's a special occasion, right?"

The final seasoning touches include 4 teaspoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of pepper, ensuring a perfectly balanced flavor profile.
