Steps

1. Boil20 min
Boil the peeled and diced potatoes along with the garlic cloves until they can be easily pierced with a fork; when the fork goes through the potato easily, the potato is done. This takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Crush8 min
Drain and mash the potatoes, then stir in melted butter, hot milk, and sautéed garlic to add more flavor.
3. Season2 min
Add salt to taste, since potatoes absorb a lot of salt; therefore, you should taste it until it’s seasoned to your liking. Serve it hot. To add some color, you can chop up some chives or cilantro and sprinkle them on top of your mashed potatoes.
