First, handle the potatoes: Peel them, then cut them into big chunks.
Next, you're going to cook them: Grab a big pot, throw in the potatoes and cover them with water. Toss in a pinch of salt and let it all come to a boil. Next, lower the heat to medium and let everything simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes become tender.
Now, let's deal with the water: Grab a colander and drain the potatoes.
Time to mash: Just put the garlic, butter, and now-drained potatoes back in the same pot. Use a hand mixer or a potato masher to mash them until they're smooth.
Now, add the milk: Mix it in slowly until you're happy with how everything's looking. Want more flavour? Add some salt and pepper.
Now, serve: Move your mashed potatoes to a fancy dish and if you want, chuck on some fresh parsley to make it look good.
