Before you start making these Cheesy Garlic Mashed Potatoes, having the right kitchen tools will make the process easier and more efficient. A large pot is essential for boiling the potatoes evenly, while a potato masher or hand mixer ensures a perfectly smooth and creamy texture. A garlic press will help you quickly mince fresh garlic for maximum flavor, and a sturdy baking dish (like an 8×8 or 2-quart dish) is perfect for baking these mashed potatoes to cheesy perfection.
