Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Here is a recipe (well kind of) for garlic mashed potatoes.

Red potatoes (skin on)
Fresh Garlic
Fresh Green Onions
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Butter
2% Milk
Lemon Juice

In a 10 inch skillet add olive oil, and get your pan hot. A lot of inexperienced cooks do not understand the importance of a really hot pan. Never add ingredients to a cool pan unless there is a really fucking good reason. Once your pan is hot add your garlic and saute, then afterward add your green onion (it cooks much faster than the garlic). Remove this from your heat and pour it all into a small container, cover and set to the side.

While you were sauteing your garlic and onion you were bringing your water to a boil and cooking your potatoes weren't you? You did clean them and cube them with the skins still on right? You do know the skins are tasty right? OK. Then we will continue. While your potatoes are cooking (about half way through) add the juice of one quarter of a lemon to your boiling water, and add a pinch of salt as well.

While your potatoes are finishing, in a small sauce pan bring your milk (how much milk you ask? use common sense and make it proportionate to your potatoes) to a slow simmer and add your sauteed garlic and green onions (and the olive oil too, its so tasty). Let that simmer for a few minutes stir constantly and let those ingredients mix and flavor the milk.

Now that your potatoes are tender to a fork drain them and return them to the pot. Add your milk mixture and butter (to taste) and mash (hand masher, no hand mixers here!) them. We are looking for a lumpy mash on this recipe. Now you have tasty garlic mashed potatoes!
