Garlic Mashed Potatoes

3 medium baking potatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped

4 Tbsp. butter, at room temperature
1/4 c. sour cream, at room temperature
1 tsp. finely minced garlic
1 Tbsp. (or more) milk at room temperature or warmed (may not be needed)

In a medium saucepan, cook the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes OR place in crock pot (fill water to just above potatoes) and cook on LOW for 6 hours. Drain the potatoes and place in mixing bowl. Add the butter, sour cream, and garlic; mix well. If necessary, add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the potatoes are the desired consistency.
