Chef tips
For a velvety texture, heat the milk and green onions together before mixing them into the mashed potatoes. This keeps the potatoes light and fluffy rather than gluey. Add some crunch by topping with crispy fried onions or fresh chives. For an extra rich version, stir in a spoonful of sour cream with the mustard—it’s perfect with pot roast or sausages.
