Ingredients

4 servings
  • 2 lbs potatoes (peeled and quartered)
  • 3 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 1/4 cup butter (or to taste)
  • 1/2 cup milk (or cream, to taste)
  • salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps

  1. Peel the potatoes and then cut in even chunks. Place in a large pot, along with the garlic, and a large pinch of salt. Add cold water to the pot, making sure cover the potatoes by 1 inch.

  2. Place the pot on the store and bring to a hard boil over high heat. When the water hits a rapid boil, turn the heat to medium or medium-high, being sure to maintain a boil, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain very well.

  3. Remove the potatoes from the liquid and mash or push through a ricer or a sieve.

  4. Stir in the butter and add the milk, stirring, until your desired consistency. Taste and season generously.
