World's Easiest Mashed Potatoes
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3 lbs small red potatoes, halved (or quartered if they are larger)
- 1 head peeled cloves of garlic
- 1 stick, 8 tablespoons pasture raised butter
- 1 ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the cubed potatoes and the peeled cloves of garlic in a large pot. Cover with several inches of water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a low boil, so that the potatoes don't fall apart, and let cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- When the potatoes are tender, drain and return to the pot. Add the butter, milk, salt, and pepper and mash with a potato masher until the potatoes are smooth. Serve right away.
