1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place them in a pot of cold, salted water.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
3
Cook the Garlic
In the last 5 minutes of cooking the potatoes, add the garlic cloves to the pot to soften them.
4
Drain and Mash
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the softened garlic, butter, milk, salt, and black pepper.
5
Mix Until Smooth
Use a potato masher or a hand mixer to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more milk if desired.
6
Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish.
