Peel and cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks, approximately 1-2 inches each.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
Add the sautéed garlic with olive oil, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper to the potatoes.
Use a potato masher or electric mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish for your favorite meal.
