Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    Add the salt to the pot and bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Garlic

    While the potatoes are cooking, peel and crush the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return to the pot. Add the remaining butter, milk, sautéed garlic, black pepper, and mash until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust salt and pepper as needed. If desired, stir in chopped chives for garnish.
