Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Rinse under cold water.

2. 2

   Boil the Potatoes

   Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

3. 3

   Cook the Garlic

   While the potatoes are cooking, peel the garlic cloves and add them to a small saucepan with 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté over low heat until fragrant and softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

4. 4

   Drain and Mash

   Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the remaining butter, sautéed garlic, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

   Stir in chopped fresh parsley for garnish. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
