- 4 large Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cut into like-sized chunks
- 3-4 tbsp butter to taste
- 2 cloves of garlic
- ¼ cup of milk

Instructions
- Peel and cut the potatoes into like-sized pieces. Place them, along with a sprinkling of salt, into a large pot and add enough water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch.

- Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the milk, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to taste, and cook until warm, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Place the drained potatoes back into the pot you cooked them in.
- Add the warm milk and garlic mixture along with the chives.
- Mash the potatoes using a hand mixer or masher until smooth and creamy.
- Place into a serving bowl and serve immediately. Enjoy.
