Method

  1. 1

    Get started. Put the spring onions and milk in a little pan and heat to boiling. Take the pan off the heat plus leave in order to infuse.

  2. 2

    Cook. Boil whole potatoes in their skins for a period of 30-40 mins, or till soft all the way through (timing depends on their size). Tip off the liquid and peel off the skins.

  3. 3

    Step 3. Set the potatoes back in the pan, put a lid on and lightly heat for a min or two. Take the pan off the heat and mash the potatoes using the butter till no lumps are left.

  4. 4

    Step 4. Reheat the milk plus the spring onions, next gradually whip this in the potatoes, mixing well using a wooden spoon in order to make the potatoes fluffy. Season well.

  5. 5

    Finish. Offer on individual plates using a hollow in the middle of every serving in which you can set a big knob of butter. Diners next dip every forkful in the pool of melted butter before eating.
