1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and chop the potatoes into even pieces. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2
Mash the Potatoes
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add minced garlic, butter, and milk. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste. Stir in chopped chives and set aside.
3
Cook the Filet Mignon
Season the filet mignon with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the filets for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
4
Serve
Plate the filet mignon alongside a generous scoop of garlic mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
