Place the potatoes and whole garlic cloves in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch.

Step 3

Step 6

Return the drained potatoes and garlic to the pot.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and begin mashing gently.

Step 9

Season the mashed potatoes with salt and ground black pepper to taste, mixing thoroughly.
