- In a bowl, whisk half the Boursin cheese with 1/4 c half-and-half until smooth.
- In a small pan, melt remaining 3 tbsp butter. Saute garlic until fragrant and straw-colored, 3-5 minutes. Stir in Boursin mixture.
- Press potato flesh through ricer or food mill. Fold in garlic-Boursin mixture, 3 tbsp chives, salt and pepper. Remove shells from oven and fill with mashed potato mixture. Top with remaining Boursin, crumbled. Bake until golden brown, 15 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining chives before serving.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
