Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle boil. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

2. 2

   While the potatoes are cooking, combine the peeled garlic cloves with the milk in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until the garlic is soft, about 10-15 minutes. Do not let the milk boil.

3. 3

   Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth or to your desired consistency.

4. 4

   Add the softened garlic and milk to the mashed potatoes. Also add the unsalted butter. Mash the mixture together until well combined and the butter is melted.

5. 5

   Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix well.

6. 6

   Serve the garlic mashed potatoes hot as a side dish to your favorite meals.
