Return potatoes to the pot and let sit, uncovered, for about 5 minutes.

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.

Add garlic to the potatoes along with milk and butter. Mash with a potato masher until very creamy. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in green onions.
