This version is elevated with the addition of green onions and parmesan cheese, which add a delightful flavor and a gourmet touch to the dish.

Ingredients:

2 potatoes
740g
2 tbsp milk (2% fat)
30g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
30g
1 onion
100g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
2 tbsp butter
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes if desired (optional for a more rustic texture).
- Cut the potatoes into chunks for faster cooking.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and add enough water to cover them.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
- Bring the pot of water with potatoes to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
3. Prepare the Onion:
- While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onion.
4. Sauté the Onion:
- In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until the onions are translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Set the sautéed onions aside.
5. Drain and Mash the Potatoes:
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander.
- Return the potatoes to the pot or a mixing bowl.
6. Mash and Mix:
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the milk to the potatoes.
- Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a hand mixer until they reach your desired consistency (smooth or slightly chunky).
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
7. Incorporate the Onions:
- Gently fold the sautéed onions into the mashed potatoes until well combined.
8. Serve:
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the mashed potatoes hot, garnished with additional green onions or Parmesan if desired.

Tips:

- Boil the potatoes until they are very tender; this will make them easier to mash and result in a smoother texture.

- Warm the milk before adding it to the mashed potatoes to keep the mixture hot and creamy.

- Use a potato masher, ricer, or even a fork to mash the potatoes, but avoid using a blender as it can make the potatoes gluey.

- Mix in the butter while the potatoes are still hot so it melts evenly into the mash.

- You can substitute the green onions with chives or scallions for a slightly different but still delicious flavor.

- For a lighter version, you can use sour cream or Greek yogurt instead of butter and milk.

There you have it – a simple yet delicious recipe for mashed potatoes with green onions and parmesan. This comforting side dish is sure to become a favorite at your dinner table. Enjoy your flavorful mashed potatoes, and don't be afraid to experiment with additional spices and herbs to make it your own!
