Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Prepare the Potatoes

Peel and chop the potatoes into equal-sized pieces. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

Boil the Potatoes

Add a pinch of salt to the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Cook the Garlic

While the potatoes are cooking, peel the garlic cloves and add them to a small saucepan with a tablespoon of butter. Sauté over low heat until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Drain and Mash

Once the potatoes are done, drain them well and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed garlic and the remaining butter.

Add Milk

Pour in the milk and mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the milk for desired consistency.

Season

Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.

Serve

Transfer the garlic mashed potatoes to a serving dish and enjoy!
