Golden Mashed Potatoes with Green Onions

Yukon gold potatoes are buttery enough, but when you mash them with more butter and lots of milk, they are a creamy sweet heaven! The green onions add flavor and color to this perfect side dish. Great by themselves or topped with your favorite gravy.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

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