Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Add a pinch of salt to the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  3. 3

    Cook the Garlic

    While the potatoes are boiling, peel and mince the garlic. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  4. 4

    Drain the Potatoes

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

  5. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add the remaining butter, milk, sautéed garlic, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more milk if desired.

  6. 6

    Serve

    If using, stir in chopped chives for garnish. Serve warm as a side dish.
