Peel and chop the potatoes into cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

While potatoes are boiling, mince the garlic and melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the minced garlic, melted butter, milk, salt, and pepper.

Mash the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
