Smashed Red Potatoes With Garlic

I wanted to roast these potatoes but my oven was in use cooking a pork loin so I decided to make them mashed. This recipe is so quick and easy.

2lbs. small red potatoes

4 cloves garlic, peeled, sliced

3-Tbsp. butter

1/4cup to 1/2 cup milk or half & half

Salt & pepper to taste

Scrub potatoes and microwave for 20 minutes. In a bowl add potatoes, milk, butter, salt & pepper and mash. Serves 4 to 6 people.
