Step 1
In a large pot, cover the potatoes with cold water. Salt the water and add the garlic and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes; discard the bay leaves. Return the potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add the butter and sour cream. Using a potato masher, very coarsely mash the potatoes. Add the milk, 1/2 cupful at a time, and mash until coarsely mashed; season with salt and pepper. Stir in half the chives. Transfer to a serving dish. Top with the remaining chives.
