1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. This will help them cook evenly.
2
Prepare the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.

3
Boil the Potatoes
In a large pot, add the quartered potatoes and cover them with water. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4
Cook the Garlic
In the last 10 minutes of boiling the potatoes, add the peeled garlic cloves to the pot to soften them.

5
Drain and Mash
Once the potatoes and garlic are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot. Using a potato masher or fork, mash the potatoes and garlic together until smooth.
6
Add Butter and Milk
Add the butter and milk to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until creamy and smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.
7
Season
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all flavors.

8
Garnish
If desired, sprinkle chopped chives and grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
9
Serve
Spoon the garlic mashed potatoes into serving bowls and enjoy warm.
