1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.
2
Cook the Potatoes
Bring the pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
3
Sauté the Garlic
While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed garlic and melted butter. Begin mashing with a potato masher.
5
Add Milk and Season
Gradually add the milk to the mashed potatoes until you reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, mixing well.
6
Serve
Serve the garlic mashed potatoes warm, garnished with additional butter or chopped chives if desired.
