Warm milk- 1/4- 1/2 cup
Garlic cloves 4-5 (according to taste)

Instructions

Peel and cut the potatoes into cubes and boil them in a pan of water till fork tender. Alternatively, if you own a pressure cooker, simply cook the potatoes (in their skin) till soft, till 4-5 whistles blow.
Peel the potatoes and place on a big plate. Use a masher to completely mash the boiled and peeled potatoes.
Fluff it with a spoon once mashed. Now add the warm milk and cream to it and mash further. Remember to keep using the spoon to bring it all together.
Add the cheese, garlic cloves and mash till smooth and creamy. It should not be dry. If it looks dry, add more of cream or milk (I add cream).
Add the seasonings and give it a taste, adjust accordingly (typical needs salt or heat). Transfer to a shallow baking dish. Top it off with some more herbs and place the cut up cubes of butter on the top.
Bake at 180 degrees celsius for 11-12 mins. Stir before serving.
