Instructions

  1. Peel and cut the potatoes into small, even chunks. Add them to a pot of cold, salted water.
  2. Boil the potatoes over a medium / high heat until cooked, about 7-8 minutes.
  3. Wash and peel away any soft or slimy parts of the scallions. Slice both green and white parts into small pieces.
  4. Place the scallions into a pot. Add half of the butter and all of the cream. Cook gently on a medium / low heat. Do not let it burn, just simmer.
  5. When the potatoes are cooked, drain all the water from them. Return them to the heat and allow them to dry out by letting the residual water evaporate. Mash them with a hand masher.
  6. Add the contents of the pot of scallions to the mashed potatoes.
  7. Mix together well, using a spatula, add more salt if needed.
  8. It's ready to serve. Add a lid to the pot if you are not quite ready to serve it to retain its heat. Use the remaining half of the butter to melt on the Champ.
