Preparation

Step 1

1. Bring potatoes and enough water to cover by 1 inch to boil in large pot over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, melt butter in medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook scallion whites until translucent, about 5 minutes. Whisk in sour cream, half-and-half, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Remove from heat, cover, and keep warm.
3. Drain potatoes in colander and return to dry pot; let stand 5 minutes. Using rubber spatula, break potatoes into large chunks. Fold in sour cream mixture until incorporated and only small chunks of potatoe remain. Stir in scallion greens and season with salt and pepper. Serve.
