These are mashed potatoes, Irish-style, with butter and green onions. Instead of gravy, they are traditionally served with a well of butter in the center for dipping each bite. Use red potatoes and leave the skins on for added color and nutrition.

INGREDIENTS:
4 pounds (1.8kg) potatoes
1/2 pint (300ml) milk
1 cup (225g) chopped spring onions (green onions)
1/2 cup (110g) butter
Salt and black pepper

PREPARATION:
Peel potatoes and cook in boiling water.

Simmer milk and spring onions together for five minutes. Strain potatoes and mash thoroughly. Add hot milk, and the spring onions, salt and pepper, and half the butter.

Champ is served piled high on the dish, with a well of melted butter in the center. It is eaten with a spoon from the outside, each spoonful being dipped in the well of melted butter.
