How to Make Mashed Potatoes With Garlic Basil And Chives

  1. Place potatoes and garlic cloves in a large pot. Cover with 3/4 pot of cold water and add a generous pinch of salt.
  2. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  3. Drain the potatoes and garlic thoroughly in a colander.
  4. Return the potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add the butter and mash until mostly smooth (leave some texture if you prefer).
  5. Stir in the chopped basil and chives.
  6. Gradually add milk, a little at a time, while continuing to mash until you reach your desired creamy consistency.
  7. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
