Notes

For extra creamy mashed potatoes, consider using Yukon Gold potatoes and increase the butter and milk slightly. If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream. Adjust the garlic powder and salt according to your taste preference, and feel free to add other seasonings like onion powder or chives for more depth.
