1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized cubes, about 1 inch each. This will help them cook evenly.
2
Boil the Potatoes
In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes, 4 cups of water, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.

3
Sauté the Garlic
While the potatoes are boiling, in a small skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until smooth.
5
Combine Ingredients
Add the sautéed garlic, remaining butter, milk, and chopped basil to the mashed potatoes. Season with pepper to taste. Stir until well combined and creamy.
