Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add the cubed Yukon Gold potatoes and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Drain thoroughly in a colander.

02

Step

Return the pot to the stove over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.

03

Step

Pour in the milk, allowing it to warm slightly. Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add the crumbled feta cheese and the remaining tablespoon of butter.

04

Step

Using a potato masher or an electric mixer on low speed, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in gummy potatoes.

05

Step

Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

For an even richer flavor, consider using roasted garlic instead of fresh. Simply roast a head of garlic until soft and caramelized, then squeeze out the cloves and mash them into the potatoes.
Feel free to experiment with different types of feta cheese. A Greek feta will offer a more pronounced tang, while a French feta tends to be milder and creamier.
A splash of heavy cream or sour cream can be added for extra richness and tang.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as chopped chives or parsley, for a pop of color and freshness.
