Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 1-2 inches).

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  3. 3

    Drain and Return to Pot

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.

  4. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add the butter and milk to the potatoes. If using, add minced garlic. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well. Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives if desired.
