Melt the butter in a med skillet over med heat. When the foam subsides, add the scallions; saute until tender. 3-5 minutes.

Beat the eggs in a med bowl. Add the sauteed scallions, mashed potatoes, bread crumbs, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Stir until well combined.

Place a baking pan in the oven and preheat the oven to 250.
