Step 1

Peel potatoes and cut into large, even chunks. Place in the bowl of a slow cooker with the garlic cloves, and pour over milk. Dot the top with butter. Season well with salt. Cook on high for 3 hours until potatoes are tender.

Step 2

Mash potatoes in the hot milk until smooth and creamy. Add extra butter and/or milk if required. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed.
