Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes.

Drain then pour potatoes into a large bowl.

Mash the potatoes and garlic with a masher.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Add the cream cheese, sour cream, milk, and butter to the potatoes and stir until smooth.

Pour into a greased 9X13 baking dish and smooth evenly on top.
