Method

Preparing Potatoes

  1. 1

    Peeling and Chopping

    Begin by peeling the Russet potatoes and cutting them into even-sized chunks (about 1-2 inches). Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot.

  2. 2

    Boiling

    Fill the pot with cold water until the potatoes are fully submerged. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.

Making Parsley Butter

  1. 3

    Melting Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and stir for about a minute until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Adding Parsley

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Season with black pepper to taste.

Mashing the Potatoes

  1. 5

    Draining Potatoes

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

  2. 6

    Mashing

    Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the whole milk while mashing until you reach your desired consistency.

  3. 7

    Mixing in Parsley Butter

    Pour the melted parsley butter over the mashed potatoes and mix well until evenly combined.
