1
Wash and Cut Potatoes
Wash the red skin potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut them into quarters for faster cooking.
2
Prepare Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.
3
Chop Chives
Finely chop the fresh chives and set them aside for garnish.

4
Boil Potatoes
Place the quartered potatoes and garlic cloves into a large pot. Cover with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
5
Cook Until Tender
Reduce heat to medium and let the potatoes boil for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
6
Drain and Return to Pot
Drain the cooked potatoes and garlic, then return them to the pot.
7
Mash Potatoes
Add the unsalted butter, milk, sour cream, remaining salt, and black pepper to the pot. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

Adjust Seasoning
Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
