Peel the skin off the potatoes using a potato peeler.

Fill a large bowl with cool water to place the peeled potatoes in to prevent browning.

Slice the peeled potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut them into even-sized pieces, placing them back in the water after cutting.

Drain the water from the chopped potatoes and place them in a large pot.

Cover the potatoes with chicken broth and a little water if needed.

Place the pot over high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender.

While the potatoes are boiling, shred the Parmesan cheese.

Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and set aside.

In a separate pot over medium heat, add butter, whole milk, minced garlic, and the shredded Parmesan cheese.

Stir the ingredients together until warm and combined.

Mash the potatoes in the mixing bowl before adding them to the pot with the warm ingredients.

Add the mashed potatoes to the pot and stir to combine, mashing further to remove lumps.

Serve the mashed potatoes warm.
