Ingredients

4 servings

Instructions

  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.
