Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 4 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches wide. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water.
Step 2
Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot, and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, finely slice the green onions and set them aside for later use.
Step 4
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 2-3 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Step 5
Add the butter to the pot and begin mashing the potatoes using a potato masher or hand mixer until they are smooth and lump-free.
Step 6
Gradually add the milk, mashing or mixing as you go, until the desired creaminess is reached.
Step 7
Gently fold in the green onions, and season with black pepper and additional salt if needed. Mix well to combine.
Step 8
Serve the mashed potatoes warm as an accompaniment to your favorite main dish.
