1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and chop the russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot filled with cold water and add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

3
Prepare the Garlic
While the potatoes are boiling, peel the garlic cloves and chop them finely.
4
Sauté the Garlic
In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

5
Drain the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
6
Combine Ingredients
Pour the sautéed garlic and melted butter over the drained potatoes. Add 1 cup of milk and 1 tsp of black pepper.
7
Mash the Potatoes
Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more milk if necessary.

8
Serve the Mashed Potatoes
Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Serve warm as a side dish.
