The most delicious mashed potatoes ever! The scallions provide sweetness, and the brown butter adds a nuttiness. Please follow ingredient amounts exactly...I know it may seem like a lot of scallions but its not. Ingredients:

1 tablespoon salt |
1 cup whole milk |

2 bunches scallions, cut crosswise into 1/2 inch pieces |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Cover potatoes with cold water by 2 inches in a 5-to 6-quart heavy stock pot and add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, 10-15 minutes.
3. Drain potatoes in a collander, then return to pot and cook over moderate heat, shaking pot ocasionally, until dry, 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Mash hot potatoes with masher or force through food mill into another pot, then cover to keep warm.
