800 g	potatoes, peeled and cut into 2cm cubes
1 bunch(es)	spring onions, finely chopped
175 ml	milk
	salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a large saucepan, boil a quantity of salted water and add the potatoes. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.

Simmer the onions in the milk in another pan for 2-3 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and either mash or use a whisk to bring to a fluffy mass. Allow to remain in the pan for 2-3 minutes to evaporate any surplus moisture. Add the onion and milk mixture and mix well. Season to taste.

Transfer to a large serving bowl and make a well in the centre. Place the butter in the centre and allow it to melt before serving.
