Garlic Smashed Potatoes

Wash your potatoes and cut them into small chunks. Fill a large pot with water and add potatoes and bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender or until a fork can easily go through a piece and come out.

While potatoes are cooking and when they are close to being done, cut your garlic cloves in half lengthwise and add them to a small sauce pan along with your milk, butter, and salt and pepper. Heat until the mixture just starts to become frothy. Spoon out your garlic cloves and discard.

By this point your potatoes should be done, so drain them and then return them to the pot and pour your milk mixture over them and with a potato masher, mash them until they are the consistency that you prefer. Serve.
