- Strain the liquid from the cooking pot into a small bowl.
- Transfer the potatoes and scallions to a medium bowl.
- Return the braising liquid to the pot and reduce to half over high heat.
- Add remaining scallions and cook for 30 seconds.
- Mash the reserved potatoes and scallions with a fork and stir in the heavy cream.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
