Method:

In a large stockpot, cover the potatoes with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat

Reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the garlic. In a food processor or blender, combine the garlic and milk. Puree until smooth. Add the pureed garlic and the margarine to the potatoes. Mash to desired consistency.

Russet potatoes, with their low moisture and high starch content, are excellent
potatoes for mashing. But other types of potatoes work well too, including Yukon
