Yield:: 4 to 6 servings

Level:: Easy

Ingredients

2 pounds medium red-skinned potatoes, scrubbed
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus additional for salting water
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Freshly ground black pepper
2 to 4 scallions (white and green parts), finely chopped

Directions

Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water, and season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes.

Heat the milk and butter in a small small saucepan until hot. With a potato masher or large fork, roughly smash the potatoes, while adding the hot liquid. Stir in half of the scallions, season with the salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and scatter the remaining scallions on top before serving.
