Reduce heat to low and simmer gently until garlic is soft, 5 to 10 minutes.

Transfer the milk mixture to a blender and puree until smooth.

Return to the pan and stir in scallions.

Cover and set aside.

Bring 1 inch salted water to a boil in a large pot.

Add cabbage, cover and cook until very tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold salted water.

Drain the potatoes and return to the pan.

Mash with a potato masher or hand-held electric mixer.

Gradually add the milk mixture to the potatoes, stirring until smooth.

Stir in cabbage and season with salt and pepper.

Transfer to a warmed bowl and garnish with parsley.
