Ingredients
- 2 pounds Red bliss potatoes – washed
- 1-1 1/2 tsp. finely minced garlic – sometimes I use a little more
- 1/2 cup Whole Milk
- 4 Tbs. Butter – softened
- 3/4 tsp. Salt – plus more for cooking the potatoes
- Few dashes of ground white pepper
Instructions
- Remove any imperfections or eyes from potatoes. Do not peel.
- Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and then into quarters. Cut them up, so they’re about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Place about one inch of water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt per cup of water. Add the potatoes and cover. When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer covered for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender, but not falling apart. Drain thoroughly.
- Heat the milk in the microwave until hot and steamy.
- Using a stand mixer, hand mixer or with a hand masher, beat/mash the potatoes until they have broken up and are smooth.
- Add the garlic and turn the mixer on low. Gradually add in the milk. Turn the mixer up and beat until fluffy. Scrape the bowl as needed. Do not over mix.
- With the mixer on low, add the butter, salt and pepper. Turn the mixer up and beat until creamy and well combined. Do not over mix. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Serve. ENJOY!
