Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes (3 medium), peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

1 cup milk

4 ounces soft goat cheese

2 scallions, thinly sliced

Preparation

In a large saucepan, combine potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce to medium-low, and simmer until tender, but not falling apart, 14 to 16 minutes.

Drain and return potatoes to saucepan over medium-low heat; add milk and goat cheese. Mash with a potato masher until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper; fold in scallions, and serve.
