Method

step 1

Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes or until starting to collapse when pressed against the side of the pan with a fork. Drain and leave to steam-dry for 5 minutes in the colander.
step 2

Meanwhile, melt half the butter in a small pan over a medium heat and fry the spring onions for 5 minutes until soft. Season.
step 3

Tip the potatoes back into the pan and mash well. Fold in the remaining butter and enough milk to make a smooth mash that easily falls off the spoon in dollops. Season well and fold in the fried spring onions along with any melted butter from the pan, then serve.
