Step 1

Peel the potatoes if desired then cut each potato down the middle and into 1/2 inch thick slices. Smash and peel the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Transfer potatoes and garlic, if using, into a large pot then fill with water until the potatoes are covered by an inch or two. Add 2 tsp salt to the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for about 10 minutes or until fork tender.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and garlic then transfer back to the warm pot. Set heat to low and gently move the potatoes around for a minute to help dry them out a bit. Remove from heat and mash potatoes to the desired consistency.

Step 4

Melt butter and milk with 1/2 tsp salt in the microwave then stir to combine. Pour the milk mixture in while gently mixing the mashed potatoes using a wooden spoon.

Step 5

Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with cracked pepper, minced chives or parsley.
