Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 4 units scallions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 2 inches wide, to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow the residual heat to evaporate excess moisture for 1-2 minutes.
Add the butter and warm milk to the potatoes. Mash them using a potato masher or a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the sautéed garlic, chopped scallions, parsley, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley or scallions if desired.
