Mashed Potatoes and Green Onion (Irish Champ)
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes peeled and halved
- 1 cup milk
- 1 bunch green onions thinly sliced
- ¼ cup butter cut into pieces
- salt to taste
- fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover them with salted water. Bring the water to a boil.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer until they're soft, which should take about 20 minutes.
- Drain the water from the potatoes and then put them back in the pot. Cover them with a clean dish towel.
- Set the pot on the stove over very low heat to let the potatoes dry out for 2 to 3 minutes.
- While the potatoes are drying, put the milk and green onion in a small saucepan. Heat them over medium-low heat until warm, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are dry, add butter and salt to the pot. Mash everything together with a potato masher until the mixture is smooth.
- Mix the warm milk and green onion into the mashed potatoes until everything is well combined.
- Add pepper to taste.
