Ingredients
2
pounds
Yukon gold potatoes
peeled and quartered
2
scallions
(green onions) each with 4-5 green long leaves, chopped
8
ounces
milk
salt and freshly ground black pepper
to taste
¼
cup
butter
Garnish (Optional):
1
tablespoon
butter
scallions
Instructions
Boil the potatoes for 15 minutes, or until soft. Drain and mash.
Heat butter in a skillet, add scallions and saute for one minute (until the scallions have wilted).
Add milk and seasonings, then simmer on low. Watch carefully so that it doesn't boil over, for 2 minutes, or until scallions are soft.
Add scallion mixture to the mashed potatoes and mix together. Serve with pat of butter and extra chopped scallions.
Notes
For a more rustic look, keep some of the potatoes unpeeled.
Add some chopped garlic cloves to the potatoes while they cook for a little depth of flavor.
Do not overcook or over-mash the potatoes. And be sure to drain them well.
Refrigerate Irish potatoes in a covered container for up to 5 days, and freeze portions in zippered bags for up to 2 months.
