Put the garlic cloves in a small pan and pour on boiling water just to cover them.

Boil for two minutes then remove from heat and drain.

Peel the garlic cloves as they cool.

Melt about half the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan and add the blanched garlic cloves.

Cook until golden over low heat – about 15 minutes.

Now put the garlic into a blender with the buttery sauce and blend to a nice purée.

Spoon this into a bowl and cover. Put aside until your potatoes are ready.

Wash and peel your potatoes and cut them into small pieces.

Pour cold water over the potatoes, just enough to cover them, and salt to your liking.

Cook over medium heat until the potatoes are cooked.

Drain your potatoes and mash them with a potato masher or a fork in the pan.

Return the potatoes to the pan to heat them for about 2 minutes to help dry them out.

Remove from heat and beat with a wooden spoon.

Heat the milk over medium heat until very hot then beat it into the mashed potatoes and add the garlic puree. Beat well.

Taste your garlic mashed potatoes and season with a little more salt and pepper to your liking.
