Champ (Mashed Potatoes from Ulster)
http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/champ_mashed_potatoes_from_ulster.html
From EatingWell: March/April 1996, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)Traditionally, this dish is made with potatoes and scallions and topped with a great deal of butter. Substituting leeks for scallions produces a mellower flavor, one that doesn't require a rich finish. Yukon Golds also add buttery color and flavor.
4 servings, about 1 cup each | Active Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds potatoes, preferably Yukon Gold, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 cup chopped leeks, washed
- 1 cup low-fat milk

- Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook, partially covered, until tender, about 15 minutes.
