Peel the potatoes using a potato peeler and remove any dark spots with a knife.

Rinse each potato before placing it into a bowl of water to prevent browning.

Cut the potatoes into equal parts, ensuring they are small enough to cook quickly.

Add the potatoes to a pot and pour in 1 can of chicken broth, then add water to cover the potatoes.

Heat the pot on high until it comes to a boil, which should take about 15 minutes depending on the size of the potato chunks.

Check the potatoes with a fork or knife; if they are still hard, cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Once done, drain the broth from the potatoes.

Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until smooth.

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and add minced garlic, cooking for about 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.

Add almond milk to the saucepan and increase the heat to high to bring it to a boil, cooking for about 3 minutes.

Combine the melted butter and garlic mixture with the mashed potatoes and stir well.

If the potatoes are too thick, heat 1 cup of milk and add it slowly to the mashed potatoes until the desired consistency is reached.
