Scallion smashed potatoes

A flurry of thinly sliced scallion greens adds freshness and savoriness to smashed red potatoes, which often taste earthier and more robust than russet or gold potatoes. Cream infused with dried shiitake mushrooms, nutmeg and scallion whites gives the potatoes umami to match a savory doenjang cream gravy. These potatoes carry the rest of a Thanksgiving meal well, helping to extend saltier, sweeter and richer dishes.
