Warm, buttery goodness, and full of flavor, it\u2019s an easy recipe that delivers big comfort with minimal effort. Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li><strong>Heat Milk and Green Onions:<\/strong> In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/3qt-stainless-steel-sauce-pan-with-lid-silver-figmint-8482\/-\/A-87713752#lnk=sametab\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">medium sized saucepan<\/a>, combine\u00a0the milk\u00a0and\u00a0minced green onions. Over low heat, bring the mixture to a boil. Then, remove it from the heat and set aside, allowing the green onions to infuse into the hot milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Boil and Drain Potatoes:<\/strong> Peel and quarter the potatoes. Add them to a large pot of salted water and boil for 10-15 minutes, until fork tender. Drain the potatoes really well to remove any moisture. Return the cooked potatoes to the warm pot and let them steam dry for 2-3 minutes.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mash:<\/strong> Pour \u00bd cup of the green onion mixture over the potatoes. Mash the potatoes with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/soft-grip-masher-dark-gray-figmint-8482\/-\/A-87712963#lnk=sametab\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">potato masher<\/a> until smooth and creamy.
