List of Ingredients
2 pounds boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup milk, light cream, or half-and-half
6 tablespoons butter
1-1/3 cups chopped fresh chives or scallions
Salt and freshly ground pepper to tasteRecipe
Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and mash.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the milk and 4 tablespoons of butter. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the chives or scallions, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the chives or scallions are soft, 2 to 4 minutes.
Add the potatoes, salt, and pepper to the milk mixture and stir until blended. To serve, spoon the champ into a deep bowl, make a well in the center, and top with the remaining butter. Serve at once.
