Champ (Irish Mashed Potatoes) image

My mom was of Irish descent, and she had a lot of traditional Irish recipes. This was her recipe for Champ. She loved to reheat leftovers the next morning, with crumbled bacon on top, and have them for breakfast in place of hash browns. She originally used Russet potatoes to make this recipe, but she switched to Yukon Gold...

Categories     Potatoes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 to 8 large yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
water (enough to cover potatoes)
1 cup milk
3 to 4 green onions (scallions), chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
2 Tbsp butter, softened
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
FOR SERVING
2 Tbsp butter, softened
1 green onion (scallion), chopped - for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Place potatoes in a medium stockpot, and fill with enough water to cover potatoes. Bring to a boil, then cover pot and reduce heat to low and let simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain in colander and return potatoes to stockpot.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in separate saucepan, place scallions in a saucepan with the milk, and simmer over medium-low heat for about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, cover pan and let stand about 10 minutes.
  • 3. Add 1/2 of the sour cream, butter, salt, pepper and milk mixture to the potatoes in the stockpot, and mash until potatoes are smooth and still hot. Add more sour cream as needed for a smooth, creamy consistency.
  • 4. Garnish with a knob of butter in the center, then sprinkle more chopped scallions/green onions on top, and serve while still hot.

I found this recipe to be a little too time-consuming. I prefer to make my mashed potatoes in the microwave.

I'm Irish and I can say that this is a very authentic recipe. My grandmother used to make it all the time when I was growing up.

Champ is such a simple dish, but it's so delicious and comforting. I love the combination of smooth, creamy potatoes and the sharp, tangy flavor of the green onions.
