Garlic Mashed Potatoes are a creamy, flavorful side dish that perfectly complement any American meal. Infused with roasted garlic, these potatoes offer a delightful balance of richness and warmth.

• Garlic cloves - 4
• Unsalted butter - 30 grams
• Milk - 60 ml

Steps

1. Peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into even-sized chunks.
2. Place the chopped potatoes in a pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
3. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
