Ingredients

1 ½ lbs russet potatoes (about 2-3 small potatoes)
2 tablespoons milk (plus an additional 1-2 tablespoons, depending on consistency)
1 tablespoon salted butter
5 cloves roasted garlic minced
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Peel the potatoes and dice into bite-sized pieces. Place in a saucepan with cold water. Salt the water liberally.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and transfer back to the saucepan.
Pour in the 2 tablespoons of milk, add the butter, garlic and pepper to the hot potatoes.
Mix using a whisk or a hand mixer until the desired consistency. Add more milk if the potatoes are too thick.
Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired, and serve immediately with more butter and roasted garlic cloves!

Notes

How to store: Store cooked mashed potatoes in a food-safe, airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

If you want to keep them longer, freeze them. Add them to a freezer-safe airtight container. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating on the stove or in the microwave.

If you know ahead of time you will be freezing some or all of the mashed potatoes, leave out the dairy and butter, as they don’t freeze well and can curdle when reheated.
