Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Instructions

Peel and cut potatoes into chunks (about 2-inch pieces). Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.

Place potatoes and garlic in a large pot. Cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are very tender, 1520 minutes.

Drain well and return potatoes and garlic to the pot. Let steam off for 12 minutes to dry them slightly.

Mash using a potato masher or ricer until the mixture is smooth.

Stir in the butter until it is melted and fully absorbed.

Slowly add warm milk, stirring gently until creamy.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
