For extra flavor, try roasting the garlic cloves before mincing them. Using a ricer or food mill is key to achieving the creamiest texture. Do not overmix the potatoes, as this can result in a gluey texture. Stir gently until just combined. White pepper adds a subtle heat and avoids black specks in your mashed potatoes. For an even richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of regular melted butter.
