Garlic mashed potatoes are high on our love list. To intensify the flavor, I combine garlic and olive oil in the food processor and drizzle it on top of the potatoes. — Emory Doty, Jasper, Georgia

Ingredients

4 pounds red potatoes, quartered
1/2 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2/3 to 3/4 cup 2% milk
3 green onions, chopped
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions

1. Place potatoes in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, until tender, 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, place oil and garlic in a small food processor; process until blended.
2. 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, if desired, cheese.
