Follow The Directions

01

Step

20 mins

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.

02

Step

5 mins

Return potatoes to the pot and let sit, uncovered, for about 5 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.

03

Step

2 mins

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and sauté just until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

04

Step

5 mins

Add the garlic-infused oil to the potatoes along with milk and butter. Mash with a potato masher or use a ricer for an extra smooth texture until very creamy. Season generously with salt and pepper, then gently stir in green onions.

For an even richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of regular butter.
Warm the milk before adding it to the potatoes to help maintain their temperature.
Garnish with extra green onions and a pat of butter before serving for a beautiful presentation.
