1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches each. This helps them cook evenly.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
3
Prepare the Garlic
While the potatoes are boiling, peel the garlic cloves and chop them finely.
4
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the chopped garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

5
Drain and Mash the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them well in a colander. Return the drained potatoes to the pot.
6
Combine Ingredients
Pour the melted butter and garlic mixture over the hot potatoes. Add the milk, white cheddar cheese, and black pepper.
7
Mash the Potatoes
Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, mash the potatoes until creamy and smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.

8
Taste and Adjust Seasoning
Taste the mashed potatoes and add more salt or pepper if desired.
9
Serve
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and top with additional shredded white cheddar cheese if desired. Enjoy your Garlic White Cheddar Mashed Potatoes!
