1
Prep Potatoes and Garlic
Peel the potatoes and cut into evenly sized chunks. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
2
Cook Potatoes
Place potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
3
Make Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and simmer gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant; set aside.
4
Mash Potatoes
Return drained potatoes to the pot and mash until smooth. For extra creaminess, use a potato ricer.
5
Incorporate Dairy and Season
Stir in the warm garlic butter, then gradually add the milk and heavy cream, mixing until the potatoes are creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Finish and Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning. Fold in chopped chives, transfer to a serving dish, and serve hot.
