1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and scrub the red potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into quarters for even cooking.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
3
Cook the Garlic
While the potatoes are boiling, peel and mince the garlic. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, then add the minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4
Drain and Mash
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed garlic and the remaining butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
