1
Prepare Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 1-2 inches).
2
Boil Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3
Drain and Mash
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Return the drained potatoes to the pot and begin mashing them using a potato masher.
4
Add Butter and Milk
Add the butter and milk to the mashed potatoes. Continue mashing until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5
Season
Season the whipped potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to incorporate the seasoning.

6
Add Optional Ingredients
If desired, mix in minced garlic, chopped chives, and/or cream cheese for added flavor and creaminess.

7
Serve
Transfer the whipped potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with additional chives or a pat of butter if desired. Serve immediately.
