Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper. Rub with olive oil, then press garlic cloves and herbs into the skin. Roast for 40-45 minutes until golden and juices run clear.
Step 2: While chicken roasts, peel and cube potatoes. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add potatoes and 2 quarts water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.
Step 3: Drain potatoes and return to pot. Stir in milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth, adding more milk if needed for desired consistency. Serve alongside the chicken.
