Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs potatoes washed and dried
  • 1 c milk room temperature
  • 4 T butter room temperature
  • 2 cloves of garlic or more, to taste
  • 1 t of salt plus more to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Peel potatoes and cut into quarters.
  • Peel the garlic cloves and break them apart.
  • Place potatoes and garlic cloves into a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 t. of salt to the water.
  • Over medium heat, bring to a boil and cook until tender, around 15 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes and rinse off the starch with warm water.
  • Move drained/dry potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
  • Run potatoes and garlic through a food mill (or ricer, or strainer). I use a hand mixer but I have to watch carefully to make sure I don’t beat the potatoes too long. 
  • Add milk and butter gradually, mixing on low or by hand with a wooden spoon. Don’t overmix.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Serve immediately or keep covered and warm.
