After rinsing potatoes under cold water, cut them into quarters.

Bring a large pot of water to a simmer, then add quartered potatoes and a table spoon of minced garlic or 3 cloves whole, garlic salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil for 20-25 minutes or until fork can enter potatoes and they feel softened.

Drain potatoes in a colander then return to pot on low heat. Mash potatoes to your liking. I prefer them a little lumpier.

Add cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, salt, pepper, chopped green onion, and butter, combine.

Grab half a stick of butter and spread over a 3-4 quart pan. Spread the mashed potatoes in the pan and add remaining butter to your liking. Bake for 20-30 minutes in an oven at 350°F.

Once butter has melted through garnish with remaining green onion. Enjoy!
