1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and chop the potatoes into uniform pieces. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
2
Cook the Potatoes
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
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 soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to brown the garlic.
4
Mash the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Pour in the milk and the garlic butter mixture. Mash until smooth and creamy.
5
Season
Add salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, stir in chopped chives for added flavor.
6
Serve
Transfer the garlic mashed potatoes to a serving dish and enjoy!
