Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ¼ cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander.

  2. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the same pot over medium-low heat. Add garlic and saute until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in milk and return potatoes to the pot. Add feta cheese and remaining butter.

  3. Mash potatoes using a potato masher or electric mixer. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook's Note:

For optimal taste, use salt sparingly as the feta cheese is already salty.
