2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 bunch scallions (about 6), thinly sliced

Reserve 1 cup of the potato water; drain the potatoes well, and return them to the saucepan.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the scallions; add the remaining scallions, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the scallions are tender, about 5 minutes.
