Steps:
-
Prepare the Potatoes
- Peel 1kg of russet potatoes and cut them into large chunks.
- Place the potatoes and one garlic bulb into a large pot.
- Cover with cold water (about 1 inch above the potatoes) and season generously with salt.

Cook the Potatoes

- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
-
Mash It Up
- While the potatoes are still warm, begin mashing with a potato masher.
- When partially mashed, add 125g unsalted butter, 150ml whole milk, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Continue mashing until the potatoes reach your desired smoothness. For an extra creamy finish, fold in 60ml sour cream if desired.
-
Adjust Seasoning
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed.
-
Serve and Garnish
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish.
- Top with extra butter, if you’re feeling indulgent, and garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.
