Method
01
Preheat your broiler to high heat. Position the oven rack 15 cm (6 inches) from the broiler element.
02
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and mashed potatoes, sliced scallions, salt, pepper, and hot milk. Mix with a fork until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Look for: Uniform consistency, no dry lumpsFeel: Creamy, not gluey
03
Transfer the mashed potato mixture to a heat-proof serving dish. Smooth the surface with the back of a fork.
04
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the surface of the mashed potatoes. Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
5mLook for: Golden brown surface with slightly charred spotsFeel: Bubbling at the edges
05
Serve immediately.
Chef's Notes
- For extra richness, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you prefer a less browned top, you can toast the potatoes under the broiler for a shorter amount of time and then serve immediately.
Storage
