Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash the red potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into quarters, leaving the skins on.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Garlic

    While the potatoes are boiling, peel and mince the garlic cloves.

  4. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and minced garlic. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a fork until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Add Milk and Seasoning

    Gradually mix in the milk until you reach the desired consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    If desired, sprinkle chopped chives or parsley on top for garnish before serving.
