Peel the potatoes and clean them. Cut the potatoes into pieces (big enough). Put them in a saucepan in water, a little salt. Cook until tender.
When the desired cooking is reached, drain the potatoes and let stand on the burner for a few minutes, allowing the remaining water to evaporate, which will give a better texture to the potatoes.
Add about 1/4 cup of butter and 1/4 cup of milk. Stir the potatoes until smooth. (Add milk and butter if necessary.)
Mince a clove of garlic and mix well with the potatoes.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle parsley on top.
