Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely slice the green onions and set them aside for later use.
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.
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.
Gradually add the milk, mashing or mixing as you go, until the desired creaminess is reached.
Gently fold in the green onions, and season with black pepper and additional salt if needed. Mix well to combine.
Serve the mashed potatoes warm as an accompaniment to your favorite main dish.
