Mashed Potatoes

• servings: 10 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

4 lb Potatoes (Russet)

4 Garlic

3 tbsp Salt

½ cup Unsalted Butter

¾ cup Milk

¾ tbsp Ground Black Pepper

Directions

Peel the potatoes, then cut them into equal-sized chunks and place in a large pot. Add garlic to the potatoes.

Fill the pot with enough water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

While the potatoes are boiling, combine the milk and butter in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave on High, stirring every 20 seconds, until the butter is melted, about 2 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and garlic, then transfer back to the warm pot. Set the heat to low and gently move the potatoes around for a minute to help dry off any excess water. Remove from heat and mash the potatoes to the desired consistency using a potato masher or wooden spoon.

Pour the hot milk mixture in while gently mixing the mashed potatoes.

Season with rest of salt and pepper.

Ready to serve.
