Irish Champ

Ingredients

• 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and halved
• 1 cup milk
• 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup butter, cut into pieces
• 0.5 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps

1. Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
2. Drain potatoes well, then return to the pot and cover with a clean dish towel. Place the pot over very low heat until potatoes are dry, 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, heat the milk and green onion in a saucepan over medium-low heat until warm, 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Once potatoes are dry, add butter and salt; mash with a potato masher until smooth. Stir in warm milk mixture until well combined, then season with pepper.
