Who would have thought that the simple addition of green onions to mashed potatoes could make such a difference? I chopped the green onions in a mini-food processor, to avoid complaints from young diners, otherwise, otherwise followed the recipe as written. It did take a bit of work to peel very hot potatoes, but the end result was delicious. I made the Champ a couple hours ahead of time, and heated as recommended in oven for 30 minutes, covered with foil, and then added butter to the hot potatoes.
Worked great! Highly recommended. Los Angeles, CA. I pulsated the herbs in a mini-Cuisinart separately. Followed recipe, adding chives to milk mixture during the simmer. Now if I were only Irish ;-. Best mashed potatoes EVER! I used Yukon Golds. Smoky Mountains, TN. Made this last week on St. My husband, who always makes the BEST mashed potatoes on special occasions, said let's always have them this way.
Also known as a gooey but good version of mashed potatoes. Use less milk. Wonderful addition to a St. It always brings a smile to my face. Not that kind of champ, although I would totally do either of those. Irish cuisine took a beating through its history. The English Conquest stripped Ireland of its cuisine by diverting their agricultural goods to England to feed its conquering armies. At times, the only food the Irish could afford to eat were potatoes, the reason why todays menu of Irish cuisine almost always includes potatoes.
It is also one of three reasons why a third of the Irish population perished during the Great Hunger, or as we know it on this side of the pond, the Irish Potato Famine. The other two reasons as I understand it include a monoculture potato crop and a potato blight. Hopefully we can learn and not repeat the mistakes of the past. Irish Champ is a simple Irish food made of potatoes, milk, green onions, butter and cheese. This is similar to Colcannon which uses cabbage instead of scallions.
If you can make mashed potatoes from scratch, you can make Champ. One of the things I love about recipes like this is that you can scale up or down without really using a recipe. Just cook as many potatoes as you have mouths to feed, add some dairy and onions and everybody is happy.
This dish has both. You make this just like you would mashed potatoes. Peel and chop the potatoes, boil in water until tender, mash with remaining ingredients and serve.
Traditionally this dish was served with cheese so I add this in the end. Floury potatoes like russets are best for this dish—avoid waxy potatoes like Yukon golds and red potatoes—for the best possible texture. If you're using leftover cooked potatoes, simply heat them with the butter and milk, and mash.
Champ is a great side dish that can be served as is or treated like bubble and squeak —with a runny fried egg on top. Serve alongside roast beef, sausages or bacon, or other vegetables like cabbage. A little gravy on the side is a nice touch. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and lightly salt the water. Simmer the potatoes until cooked through when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, the potato should be soft in the middle.
This will take about 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. Finely chop the white parts of the green onions and roughly chop the green parts. Set aside. Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander. Add the milk and butter to the empty pot and heat gently until melted. Add the potatoes back to the pot and mash until smooth and creamy. Be careful of over-mashing as the potatoes can end up gluey.
Add the finely chopped white part of the onion and mix well. Season well with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the melted butter into the well in the potatoes. Mix the butter into the potatoes at the table before serving. Calories Did you make this recipe?
