Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover them with cold water.

2. 2

   Cook the Potatoes

   Add salt to the pot and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.

3. 3

   Prepare the Garlic

   While the potatoes are cooking, peel the garlic cloves and add them to a small saucepan with the butter. Cook over low heat until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

4. 4

   Drain and Mash

   Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Pour in the garlic and butter mixture, and add the milk. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Season

   Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish, garnish with chopped chives, and serve warm.
