Ingredients
- 5 large russet potatoes, such as Idaho, peeled and cut into pieces (about 3 1/4 pounds)
- 8 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
- 1 cup whole milk, plus more as needed
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- Ground black pepper
- Chopped parsley, for serving, optional
Instructions
- Combine the potatoes and garlic in a saucepot and cover by 4 inches with cold water. Add the salt and bring the pot to a simmer. Simmer until completely tender, about 25 minutes. When done, the potato pieces should be easily crushed with the back of a spoon. Strain the potatoes and leave to drain and steam dry in the colander for 2 to 3 minutes.
- While the potatoes drain, combine the milk and butter in a small saucepot and bring to a simmer over low heat.
- Transfer the potatoes to a bowl and mix on low with an electric mixer. When the potatoes are broken into small pieces, add the milk in several additions and continue mixing on low until incorporated. Turn the mixer to high and whip until silky and smooth. Add more warm milk if necessary. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with parsley, if desired.

All these years I thought I knew how to make mashed potatoes. This recipe showed me I didn’t. Excellent potatoes! Thank you for showing me how mashed potatoes should be made
Delicious & easy. Will peel a little of the skin though.

These are the creamiest mashed potatoes I’ve ever made and so fun to make with the beater. A+ recipe and easy too.
