Creamy garlic parmesan mashed potatoes are the perfect side dish for a weeknight dinner. With only 5 ingredients and ready in less than 30 minutes, these will be a hit for the whole family.
Place the red potatoes and garlic in a large pot. Fill with water until covered and salt generously. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes over medium heat or until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork. Drain thoroughly and remove to a large bowl.
Add milk, butter, and parmesan cheese to the potatoes. Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes until the desired consistency is reached.
Notes
Optional: mix in additional butter and milk in increments of 1 tbsp until desired taste is achieved. Be careful to not overmix.
