Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic
- ½ cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into roughly equal chunks for even cooking.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them well and return to the pot. Begin mashing with a potato masher or fork.
- Mix in the rest of the butter, milk, sautéed garlic, and seasoning. Combine until creamy.
- 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.
