Fill a large pan with cold water and add the cubed potatoes, making sure the potatoes are fully submerged. Stir in 1 tablespoon kosher salt and bring it to a boil on medium-high heat.
Cook the potatoes until tender, 15-20 minutes. You can check doneness by inserting a sharp knife into a potato. If it comes in and out easily, they are ready to go. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
While the potatoes are cooking, place milk, garlic, and butter in a saucepan and heat on medium-low until the butter is melted and the milk is warmed—there is no need to bring it to a boil.
Add the warmed milk mixture into the pan containing the now drained potatoes and lightly mash* to combine.
Add the sour cream and mash all of it to your desired consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to your desired taste.
Transfer into a serving bowl, sprinkle with fresh herbs and add more butter on top, if preferred. Serve.
