Cheesy Garlic and Chive Mashed Potatoes

4 potatoes, sliced or cut into cubes

2 cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped

1/2 cup buttermilk or sour cream (about 1/4 cup)
You may wish to warm the milk or sour cream a bit.

1/3 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

1 Tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Place potatoes and garlic in large saucepan.  Add enough 
water to cover.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat.  Boil gently for 15 to 20
minutes - until potatoes break apart easily when pierced with 
a fork. Drain well.

Mash potatoes and garlic coarsely with back of spoon or masher.
Leave some potato pieces in chunks. 

Add remaining ingredients and mix gently.
