Ingredients

• 3 lbs russet or Yukon gold potatoes, about 8 medium
• 1 tsp salt, divided
• 8 green onions
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 4 tbsp salted butter, plus additional for serving

Directions

1. Peel potatoes, cut into large chucks and place in a medium pan. Cover with water and add 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, 35-40 minutes.

2. Remove from heat and drain potatoes well. Return to pot and let potatoes dry for a couple of minutes (This will make the mashed potatoes lighter and fluffier)

3. Finely chop green onions. Place in a small saucepan. Add milk and simmer 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

4. Add butter and remaining 1/2 tsp salt to potatoes and mash with a potato masher or fork. Gradually add hot milk and green onions, beating with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy. Place in a warm serving bowl and top with a knob (a couple of tbsps) of butter.
