1
In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch pieces, and the garlic, with enough salted cold water to cover the potatoes by 1/2 inch
2
Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, for 15 to 25 minutes, or until they are tender but not falling apart
3
While the potatoes are cooking, in a small saucepan heat the cream with the 1 cup butter, the goat cheese, and salt and pepper, to taste over moderately low heat, stirring, until the butter and cheese are just melted and smooth
4
Keep the mixture warm
5
Drain the potatoes and garlic and force them through a food mill fitted with the medium disk or a ricer into a bowl
6
With an electric mixer beat in the butter mixture, the scallion, and salt and pepper to taste, beating just until the potatoes are fluffy and smooth (do not over-beat), and transfer the mixture to a 1-quart shallow flameproof baking dish

Dot with remaining 2 tablespoons butter
