Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe (with Skins)

If you love classic mashed potatoes but want a little extra flavor, these garlic mashed potatoes with skins are the perfect side dish! Creamy, buttery, and packed with subtle garlic taste, this recipe is simple to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The potatoes are boiled and mashed with their skins on for a rustic, “smashed potato” texture that pairs beautifully with any meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks (skins left on)

  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped

  • ½ cup milk

  • ¼ cup butter

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • Dash of ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, boil the potatoes and chopped garlic for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender. Drain well.

  2. Return potatoes to the pot and shake over low heat to remove excess moisture.

  3. Mash the potatoes (they will stay slightly chunky from the skins).

  4. Slowly add the milk, mashing after each addition until you reach your desired creaminess.

  5. Stir in the butter, salt, and black pepper until the butter is melted and everything is well combined.
