Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes (about 3 pounds), peeled and chopped into roughly 2-inch dice
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, or more to taste
  • 1 head garlic, cloves peeled and minced
  • 1/2 cup milk, warmed
  • Ground black pepper to taste

Method

  • Place the potatoes in a large saucepan.
  • Add the salt and cold water to cover by 1 inch.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to a gentle boil and cook until the potatoes fall apart when poked with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes well and transfer them to the work bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
  • Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Add the garlic and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until softened and very lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic-butter mixture to the bowl with the potatoes.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the warm milk, and the pepper.
  • Mix on medium-low speed until creamy but still chunky, no more than 1 minute.
  • Do not overmix or the potatoes will become gluey.
  • Serve.
