1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 1-2 inches).
2
Boil Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot, add the salt, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3
Prepare Garlic
While the potatoes are boiling, peel the garlic cloves and finely chop or mince them.
4
Cook Garlic
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

5
Drain Potatoes
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
6
Mash Potatoes
Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the potatoes until smooth.
7
Add Cream and Milk
Gradually add the heavy cream and milk to the mashed potatoes, mixing well to achieve the desired consistency.
8
Incorporate Garlic
Stir in the sautéed garlic and melted butter into the mashed potatoes until well combined.
9
Season
Add black pepper to taste, and mix in chopped chives if using.

10
Serve
Transfer the garlic mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with additional chives, if desired. Serve warm.
