(Courtesy of Taste of Home)

Ingredients:
4 lbs. red potatoes, quartered
1/2 c. olive oil
2 garlic cloves
2/3 c. heavy whipping cream
1/4 c. butter, softened
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2/3-3/4 c. whole milk
3 green onions, chopped
3/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions:
Place potatoes in a Dutch oven; add water to cover.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until tender.  Meanwhile, place oil and garlic in a small food processor; process until blended.

Drain potatoes; return to pan.  Mash potatoes, gradually adding cream, butter, salt, pepper and enough milk to reach desired consistency.  Stir in green onions.  Serve with garlic olive oil and cheese (if desired).

Note~ Do not store leftover oil mixture.  Use the oil mixture just after preparing.
