Creamy and savory garlic mashed potatoes are a comforting side dish that elevates any meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Russet potatoes
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • ½ cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into roughly equal chunks for even cooking.
  2. Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. While the potatoes are boiling, peel and mince the garlic. In a small pan over low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and gently sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Once the potatoes are tender, drain them well and return to the pot. Begin mashing with a potato masher or fork.
  5. Mix in the rest of the butter, milk, sautéed garlic, and seasoning. Combine until creamy.
  6. Transfer the garlic mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Garnish with a pat of butter or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Don’t overmix the potatoes for the best texture. Use warm milk for creaminess.
