Classic Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled, or to taste
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary ingredients beforehand.
2
Heat a substantial amount of salted water in a large vessel until it reaches its boiling point. Introduce diced potatoes and minced garlic into the pot, then reduce the heat to a moderate level and let them simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they become tender.
3
While the potatoes are nearing completion, warm milk and butter in a compact saucepan over a low heat setting until the butter has fully dissolved.
4
Drain the potatoes and return them to their original container. Gradually add the warm milk mixture, blending it thoroughly with a potato masher or electric mixer until the potatoes have achieved a smooth and creamy consistency.
5
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Present and indulge in your dish!
