Champ (Mashed Potatoes from Ulster)

:  March/April 1996, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)

Your rating: None Average: 4.3 (3 votes)

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.


READER'S COMMENT:
"When I was a kid in the 50's Champ some times was the main item. We had canned peas and scrambeled eggs as a side. I like the new recipe that eliminates the 1/4 pounf of butter that used to be on top. SW in Connecticut "
