Garlic Mashed potatoes

I know what you're thinking...not someone else trying to tell me how to make mashed.. But these are my go to and they're simple bad delish. No fuss, no muss.

I use largeish 1 potato per person
5 cloves garlic
1/2 onion
Butter
Milk
Grated parm cheese
>optional< Parsley or scallions
S&P

Boil potatoes and 3 of the cloves of garlic and the 1/2 onion. Drain and mash
TIP>do not add the milk or butter until after you're done mashing! If you do, you run the risk of the coldness of the butter and milk making the potatoes gluey<
Grate in the 2 remaining cloves of garlic then mix in the milk & butter. Finish with the parm cheese.
Sprinkle the parsley and/or scallions
