Ingredients

• 8 potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

3. Drain potatoes. Return to hot saucepan; stir until dry, about 1 minute.
4. Add butter, 1 piece at a time, stirring gently until melted before adding more.
5. Mash in milk using a potato masher until smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt and white pepper.
6. Transfer potatoes to a serving bowl; top with more butter, if desired.
