Step 1
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Drain well.
Step 2
While potatoes cook, melt 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel.
Step 4
Warm milk in the same skillet, then add drained potatoes. Mash until smooth but still slightly chunky.
Step 5
Fold in scallions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl.
Step 6
Make a well in the center. Add remaining 4 tbsp butter to the well. Top with crispy onions. Serve hot.
