SCALLION MASHED POTATO PANCAKES
This recipe was created from our mound of leftover mashed potatoes from Thanksgiving! It's so easy and delicious! Even my picky son that eats only 15 things had 5 pancakes! Drizzle a bit more sesame oil over the pancakes for that extra splash of flavor. Great as a side dish to anything, and another alternative to potato latkes!

Steps:
- Mix mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, salt, and white pepper together in a medium mixing bowl. The mixture should be a little doughy, enough to form a ball in your palm.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Saute scallions in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Fold into the potato mixture until combined.
- Heat enough vegetable oil in the frying pan to cover by 1/4 inch and add a drizzle of remaining sesame oil.
- Form balls of potato mixture using a 1/4 cup measure and flatten into pancakes. Gently place into the hot oil in batches and cook until browned on both sides and somewhat firm, about 5 minutes. Transfer pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up excess oil. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more vegetable oil and sesame oil before frying each batch. Transfer to a platter and serve hot.

MASHED POTATO SALAD WITH SCALLIONS AND HERBS
Creamier than a classic potato salad, and chunkier and zestier than regular mashed potatoes, this hybrid dish can be served warm or at room temperature, when its texture is at its softest and best. (Never serve this cold; no one likes cold mashed potatoes.) The key to getting the right texture is to cook the potatoes a little more than you would for potato salad, but not so much that they completely fall apart. You are looking for chunks of potatoes coated in a fluffy layer of highly seasoned mashed potatoes. Potato salads tend to absorb their seasonings as they sit, so for the most flavorful dish, be prepared to add more salt, lemon juice and olive oil to taste just before serving.

Steps:
- Cook the potatoes in a pot of well-salted water until they are very tender but not mushy, 15 to 22 minutes. Drain well.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together lemon zest and juice, rosemary, salt, pepper and hot sauce. When the salt is dissolved, whisk in the olive oil, mayonnaise and mustard.
- Add potatoes to the bowl and mix them very well, until well coated with dressing. Then use the spoon to mash about a quarter of them. You want 1-inch (or so) chunks of potatoes coated in some mashed potatoes. Add scallions and parsley and toss well. Taste and add more salt, lemon juice, hot sauce and olive oil, if needed. Scatter chopped basil or dill over dressed potatoes. Serve warm or at room temperature, but not cold.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold and Russet potatoes are ideal for mashed potatoes as they have a fluffy texture and absorb butter and milk well.
- Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender but not overcooked. Avoid boiling them at a rolling boil, as this can make them gluey.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well in a colander to remove excess water. This will help prevent the mashed potatoes from becoming watery.
- Use a potato ricer: A potato ricer is the best tool for achieving smooth and lump-free mashed potatoes. If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a food mill or mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth.
- Season the mashed potatoes well: Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, butter, and milk to taste. You can also add other seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs.
- Garnish the mashed potatoes: Before serving, garnish the mashed potatoes with chopped scallions, chives, or parsley. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or gravy.
Conclusion:
Mashed potatoes with scallions are a classic side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make the best mashed potatoes with scallions that are creamy, fluffy, and flavorful. Whether you are serving them for a holiday dinner or a weeknight meal, these mashed potatoes will be a hit.
