Step 1
Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.

Step 2
Drain potatoes well, then return to the pot and cover with a clean dish towel. Place the pot over very low heat until potatoes are dry, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3
Meanwhile, heat the milk and green onion in a saucepan over medium-low heat until warm, 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 4
Once potatoes are dry, add butter and salt; mash with a potato masher until smooth. Stir in warm milk mixture until well combined, then season with pepper.
