- Meanwhile, in the same saucepan, combine milk, butter, and salt; season with pepper. Place over low heat until butter has melted and milk is warm to the touch. Pass potatoes and garlic through a ricer or food mill into saucepan, and stir gently to combine with milk mixture. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- For a creamy mashed potato, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly-sized pieces before boiling them. This will help them cook evenly.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender but still firm. You can test this by inserting a fork into the potatoes; they should be easy to pierce but still hold their shape.
- Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot over low heat. This will help to dry out the potatoes and prevent them from becoming watery.
- Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. You can use a potato masher, an electric hand mixer, or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Add the milk, butter, and garlic and continue to mash until well combined.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and additional garlic powder to taste.
- Serve the mashed potatoes immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
