1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks.
2
Cook the Potatoes
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3
Drain and Mash
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. If using garlic, add it now. Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until smooth.
4
Add Butter and Milk
Add butter and gradually add milk while continuing to mash until you reach your desired consistency.
5
Season
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in chives if desired.
