Description
This Irish-inspired Champ is a comforting twist on classic mashed potatoes, infused with the savory flavors of green onions and rich butter. It’s creamy, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with a wide variety of main dishes, especially savory gravies.
Ingredients
- 6 medium potatoes
- 50ml whole milk
- 6–8 green onions (green parts only)
- 100g unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Infuse the milk: Add sliced green onions to the milk and bring to a boil on low heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and let the onions infuse in the milk for a few minutes.
-
Prepare the potatoes: Peel and quarter the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until very tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let them steam dry for 2-3 minutes to remove excess moisture.
-
Mash and combine: Pour the hot milk with infused onions over the potatoes. Mash well using a potato masher or ricer until smooth. Stir in the butter, and season with salt and white pepper to taste.
Notes
- For a cheesy twist, mix in some grated cheddar cheese.
- Add roasted garlic for an extra layer of flavor.
- You can experiment with a mix of potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russets for varied texture.
