• 2 cloves Garlic (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for drizzling)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into roughly 1-inch chunks for even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks into a large pot and fill with cold water until the potatoes are fully submerged.

Step 3

Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

If using garlic, add the peeled garlic cloves to the pot with the potatoes during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

When the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and return them to the warm pot to release steam for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the butter, tahini, and warm milk to the pot with the potatoes.

Step 8

Using a potato masher or electric hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

Step 9
