  1. Peel and cut the potatoes into like-sized pieces. Place them along with a sprinkling of salt, into a large pot and add enough water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil over high heat then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-18 minutes. Drain the potatoes.
  2. Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the milk and cook until warm, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  3. Place the drained potatoes back into the pot you cooked them in. Add the warm milk and garlic mixture along with the chives, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Mash the potatoes using a hand masher until creamy and smooth. Place into a serving bowl and serve immediately. Enjoy.
