1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3
Drain and Steam Dry
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to steam dry for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.
4
Add Butter and Milk
Add the butter and milk to the potatoes. If using garlic, you can add minced garlic at this stage.
5
Whip the Potatoes
Using a potato masher or hand mixer, whip the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the milk for desired consistency.
6
Season and Serve
Add salt and pepper to taste, then serve hot.
