Champ Potatoes
Additional Information
If the typical Irishman used to consume an average of 14 lbs of potatoes every day, then there is no doubt that they had several different ways of eating them. No one knows why this dish is called champ. However, it is another impressive style of mashed potatoes. It has an almost elegant or ethereal flavor, in comparison to colcannon, which in Ireland represents a very earthy taste.
Ingredients:
1 lb Potatoes, cooked and mashed
3/4 cup of whole milk (or substitute for your lifestyle)
1/4 cup of melted butter (or substitute a plant base)
1/4 cup of chopped Scallions
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
Step 1. In a saucepan put milk, butter, and scallions, bring to a boil, and allow to simmer for two to three minutes.
Step 2. Add the mashed potatoes and garlic powder, and mix them together. Allow simmering for 5 more minutes and season to taste. Enjoy!
