Step 1

Place cubed potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water.  Add a big pinch of salt (optional) and bring to a boil.  Boil potatoes until fork tender, 20-25 minutes.  Drain potatoes and add them back into the pot.

Step 2

Add in the butter, milk and mayo and mash with a potato masher or whip with an electric hand mixer.

Step 3

Season with salt, pepper and granulated garlic, to taste and serve immediately or keep warm until ready to serve!  I like to garnish mine with some fresh herbs and a drizzle of melted butter.
