Wash 2 pounds of red potatoes and cut them into quarters, leaving the skins on.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
Drain the potatoes and then return them back to the pot.
Add 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix, ¼ cup butter, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup milk. Use an electric mixer to blend the potatoes until they are light and fluffy. Gradually add the remaining ¼ cup milk until the mashed potatoes reach your desired consistency.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
Notes
I usually use milk for this recipe but you can substitute with heavy whipping cream as well.
