Camembert Mashed Potatoes

The buttery taste and creamy texture of Camembert cheese accentuate the taste of these potatoes. Camembert is similar in taste and texture to Brie, which is a great substitute. The rind is easiest to remove if the cheese is well chilled.
Cut the cheese into 6 slices. Carefully remove the rind from the cheese; discard the rind. Slice the cheese; let it stand at room temperature while the potatoes are cooked.Place the potatoes in a large roasting pan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 12 minutes or until tender. Drain in a colander; return the potatoes to the pan. Add the cheese, milk, salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper; mash with a potato masher until smooth. Garnish with green onions and pepper if desired.
