For an even richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of plain melted butter for the garlic infusion. Feel free to experiment with different herbs like chives or rosemary to add your personal touch to the dish. Ensure the potatoes are well-drained to prevent a watery mash.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large stockpot, combine the potatoes and 1 1/2 tablespoons of kosher salt. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. (5 minutes)
02
StepReduce heat to medium-high and continue boiling until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, approximately 15 minutes.
03
StepWhile the potatoes are boiling, melt the salted butter and crushed garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic becomes fragrant and the white milk solids separate from the butter. (2-3 minutes)
04
StepRemove the garlic butter from heat and cover to keep warm.
05
StepOnce the potatoes are tender, remove them from heat and drain thoroughly in a colander. Return the potatoes to the pot.
06
StepAdd the warmed whole milk, sour cream, cubed unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, and black pepper to the potatoes.
07
StepUsing a potato masher, mash the mixture until smooth and creamy. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl.
08
StepPour the prepared garlic butter through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl to remove the garlic and milk solids.
09
StepDrizzle the infused butter evenly over the mashed potatoes and garnish with thinly sliced scallions. Serve immediately and enjoy the enhanced flavors of this classic side dish.
