📝 Preparation Steps

Add the potatoes and garlic to a large pot and cover with cold water and a generous pinch of salt. Cover and bring up to a boil, then simmer until tender, about ⏱️ 15-20 minutes.
garlic (peeled)2 cloves
2
While the potatoes cook, add the milk and butter to a small saucepan and warm over low heat until the butter has melted.
butter (plus an extra pat for garnish (optional))4 tablespoons
3
When the potatoes can easily be pierced with a fork, they’re done. Drain and let them steam for several minutes to remove some moisture.
4
Add the potatoes and garlic to a large bowl, then add 1 teaspoon of salt and black pepper to taste, then use a hand masher to mash the potatoes a bit to get them started.
garlic (peeled)2 cloves

Pour in the milk and butter mixture, then continue mashing until it’s incorporated.
butter (plus an extra pat for garnish (optional))4 tablespoons
6
Add the mascarpone and continue mashing until the potatoes are fluffy and creamy, but still have some chunks remaining. Add in a little more milk as needed, one splash at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
