  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into equal-sized chunks, about 1-2 inches.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add the butter to the drained potatoes. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Add Milk and Season

    Gradually add the milk to the mashed potatoes, mixing well until you achieve your desired consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If using, add minced garlic and chopped chives.
