There is nothing better than homemade mashed potatoes!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 russet potatoes, scrubbed & peeled
- salt to season water
- 3 tablespoons butter + 1 tablespoon butter divided
- 3 tablespoons green onions (green part only), diced
- salt & pepper, to taste
- potato masher
Instructions
- Fill a large pot of water to a boil.
- While the water is boiling, cut the scrubbed & peeled potatoes into large chunks (this will expedite the process).
- Once the water is at a boil, add potatoes and a generous amount of salt to the water.
- Boil potatoes until the potatoes are soft when inserted with a fork, approximately 25-30 minutes.
- Drain the water from the pot and put back onto the stove top to evaporate the remaining water.
- Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until a smooth texture begins to form. Add 3 tablespoons of the water and set aside.
- In a small skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and green onions on medium-high heat. Stir until fully melted for about 1-2 minutes. Being careful not to burn the onions.
- Add the onions to the potato mixture and combine one last time. Add salt & pepper to taste.
