1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into quarters to ensure even cooking.
2
Prepare Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside. You will crush them later.

3
Boil Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, add 1 tsp of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4
Cook Garlic
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
5
Drain and Mash
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed garlic and butter mixture, and use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.

6
Add Milk and Season
Pour in the milk gradually while mashing to achieve a creamy texture. Season with black pepper to taste, mixing until everything is well combined.
7
Serve
Serve the garlic mashed potatoes warm, garnished with additional butter or a sprinkle of herbs if desired.
