- 2 green onions (scallions) 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
- chopped green onions
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes for 15 minutes, or until soft. Drain and mash.
- Heat butter in a skillet, add green onions, and saute for one minute (until the green onions have wilted).

- Add green onions mixture to the mashed potatoes and mix. Serve with pat of butter and extra chopped green onions.
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.
