Creamy Lobster Mashed Potatoes

Here they have taken your everyday mashed potatoes and made them ultra-indulgent with lobster, cream cheese, and cheddar!
(serves 8)

6 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
3 T. unsalted Kerrygold* butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup whole milk
2 T. full-fat cream cheese, softened*
1/2 t. each kosher* salt and freshly* ground pepper
1 cup cooked lobster chunks (1/2" chunks, tail and claw meat preferably)
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 T. chopped fresh chives

To a large pot, add potatoes and cover with cold water by 1". Bring to a boil, reduce heat to med. and simmer until potatoes are very tender, 20-25 min. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter on med. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 45 sec. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Drain potatoes, reserving 1 cup cooking water. Return potatoes to pot and mash with a potato masher until smooth, adding back reserved cup of cooking liquid while mashing. Add garlic-butter mixture, milk, cream cheese, S&P, and continue to mash until fully incorporated. Fold in lobster, cheddar, and chives.
