Chef Rosendale’s German grandmother made the best mashed potatoes—but we’ve found a way to make them even better. This elevated version combines rich, creamy potatoes with tender poached lobster meat and a touch of herbed cheese, creating a luxurious twist on a classic comfort food. Decadent, flavorful, and irresistibly smooth—it doesn’t get any better than this.

Part 1:
Mashed Potatoes

Step 1

Boil the potatoes with the bay leaves until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes well and discard the bay leaves.


‍

Step 2

Mash the potatoes using a food mill and add the butter, hot cream, salt and white pepper. Fold in the herbed cheese and sour cream, allowing it to melt into the potatoes. Set aside in a warm place.

Part 2:
Beurre Fondue

Step 1

In a medium stock pot, combine all ingredients except for the butter. Bring to a simmer and reduce by two-thirds. Turn down the heat and start adding the cold butter, whisking constantly to emulsify. Adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper as needed. Strain the sauce through a chinois.


‍

Step 2

To finish, gently poach the diced lobster in the beurre fondue. Place the poached lobster on top of the Boursin mashed potatoes. Place more beurre fondue over top and garnish with chives.
