Wash the potatoes and put them in a pot over high heat with just enough water to cover them.

Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the largest potato bursts evenly when you crush it with a wooden spoon. It's fine if the water reduces, but add a little water if the bottom of the pot begins to dry out or turn to a sludge.
4
Clean and slice the scallions.
5
Crush the cooked potatoes with a wooden spoon or a potato masher.

Stir in the cream.
7

How to Slice Green Onions
Maybe it's a little weird, but scallions are my favorite thing to slice. And this is a great practice task if you're just learning to cook. They look so cool when they're done neatly, and they add a lot of color and flavor to a dish. You do need to have a sharp knife because they're delicate, and a dull knife will do more smashing than slicing.
