Step 1
Wash the potatoes well, but leave the skins on and put in a pan.

Step 2
Cover with water, add a little salt and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.

Step 3
Meanwhile, cook the spring onions in a shallow pan in the butter for about 5 minutes, until soft.

Step 4
Drain the potatoes well.

Step 5
Allow them to cool a little in a colander so that the excess moisture escapes as steam.

Step 6
When you can handle the potatoes, remove the skin with a small knife – it should scrape off easily.

Step 7
Mash the potatoes roughly, or pass them through a potato ricer.
