How to Make Mashed Potatoes With Garlic Basil And Chives
- Place potatoes and garlic cloves in a large pot. Cover with 3/4 pot of cold water and add a generous pinch of salt.
- 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.
- Drain the potatoes and garlic thoroughly in a colander.
- Return the potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add the butter and mash until mostly smooth (leave some texture if you prefer).
- Stir in the chopped basil and chives.
- Gradually add milk, a little at a time, while continuing to mash until you reach your desired creamy consistency.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
