Ingredients

6 russet potatoes, about 1 3/4 pounds
Salt to taste
6 whole garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/3 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

Peel the potatoes and cut them crosswise into 3/4-inch cubes. Put the pieces in a saucepan and add water to cover. Add salt and the garlic.
Bring to a boil and simmer 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Do not overcook. Drain the potatoes and garlic and put them through a food mill or potato masher, then back in the saucepan.
Meanwhile, heat the milk and add the butter to the milk. Blend well with a wooden spatula. Add the milk and butter mixture, a little at a time, to the potato mixture. Add the parsley, pepper, nutmeg and salt. Blend well. Keep warm until ready to serve.
