    Method: 

    In a large saucepan, cover potatoes, garlic cloves, thyme and bay leaf with heavily salted water and simmer over medium heat until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain thoroughly and return to pan, discarding thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Set the pan over medium heat and add milk or half-and-half and 4 tablespoons olive oil. Mash with an old-fashioned potato masher or large fork, adding the remaining milk and olive oil as desired. Season to taste with salt. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with parsley or chives.
