- 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for serving
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1½ tsp. sea salt, plus more for the cooking water
- Freshly-ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Fresh chives, for garnish
1. Place the peeled and cut potatoes and the peeled garlic cloves in a large pot. Cover them with cold water by about an inch and add a generous amount of salt.
2. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender.
3. Drain the potatoes and garlic, then return to the empty pot over low heat for 1 minute to dry them out.
4. Remove the pot from heat, then add butter and milk. Mash with a potato masher or fork until you've reached your desired consistency – creamy, chunky or anywhere in between.
5. Stir in the sour cream, salt and black pepper.
6. Serve the mashed potatoes warm, topped with an extra pat of butter and a sprinkle of fresh chives.
