Green Onion Smashed Potatoes (Champ) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into about 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup butter
1 bunch green onion, sliced (about 1-1/2 cups)
salt and pepper
cold butter, cut into pieces

Preparation

Cook the potatoes in a pot of boiling water until very tender (about 15 minutes).
While the potatoes are cooking: in a small saucepan bring the cream and butter to a simmer over medium heat, stirring often.
Add in the green onions.
Remove from heat; cover with lid and let steep (off of the heat) while the potatoes are cooking.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly, then return to the same pot and mash with a potato masher (do not beat, leave the potatoes with some small chunks).
Add in the cream/onion mixture; mix with a wooden spoon to combine.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon smashed potatoes onto each plate in a pile and make a indentation.
Put 1-2 tablespoons hard butter in the indentation.
Delicious!
