Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Drain well.

  2. Step 2

    While potatoes cook, melt 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat.

  3. Step 3

    Add sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel.

  4. Step 4

    Warm milk in the same skillet, then add drained potatoes. Mash until smooth but still slightly chunky.

  5. Step 5

    Fold in scallions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl.

  6. Step 6

    Make a well in the center. Add remaining 4 tbsp butter to the well. Top with crispy onions. Serve hot.
