Yummy! I've had this in my cookbook for some time now and have finally gotten around to making it! A nice change to just ordinary mashed taters. I added some nutmeg to the milk and used salted butter. Served with haggis and (for PAC Fall 2007)Recipe #196598. Thanks Leslie!

I think I'll add sour cream to it next time. These were wonderful! Great with Lamb!

I really like boiling the green onions in the milk because it made the flavor go all through the potaoes. I added lots of fresh ground pepper. Thanks for sharing your recipe Leslie!
