Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 3-inch pieces
8 garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/4 cups whole milk
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add potatoes and garlic; reduce heat to medium and simmer with lid slightly ajar until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain potatoes; return to pot. Toss potatoes and garlic over high heat until moisture evaporates, about 2 minutes. Heat milk with butter in small saucepan over medium heat until butter is melted; set aside. Using potato ricer, press potatoes and garlic into large bowl. Add milk mixture; stir to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead.

This recipe is a lifesaver! I'm a terrible cook, but I can always make these mashed potatoes. They're so easy and always turn out great.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my mashed potatoes turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These mashed potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more butter and garlic next time.

I love this recipe! The mashed potatoes always turn out perfectly creamy and fluffy. I've also tried adding different herbs and spices to change up the flavor, and it always comes out great.

I've been making mashed potatoes for years, but this recipe is a game-changer. The potatoes were so smooth and creamy, and the flavor was amazing. I'll never make them any other way again.
