Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 20-25 minutes.

Notes
Use russet potatoes for fluffier texture; warming the milk helps keep the mashed potatoes creamy; adjust garlic amount based on preference.
