Recipe Introduction


Ulster champ is the traditional Irish mashed potatoes. A staple of Ireland, the much-maligned potato is the cornerstone of authentic Irish cooking. The fresh green color and flavor of champ is the next best thing to being in Ireland.


List of Ingredients




# 21/2 pounds russet potatoes, about 6 large or 8 to 9 medium potatoes
# 8 tablespoons butter
# 6 ounces ( 3/4 cup) whole milk
# 1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely minced
# 3/4 cups scallions or chives, chopped
# Salt and white pepper to taste
# Melted butter to taste

Recipe



Scrub and peel potatoes and cut into large pieces. Cook until tender in a large saucepot by steaming or simmering in water. Drain well and return pot to low heat to dry out excess moisture. Mash potatoes: Beat in butter and gradually add milk, parsley and scallions or chives until mixture is light and fluffy. Season to taste. Spoon potatoes onto serving plates. Make a well in center of each mound of potatoes and fill with melted butter, to taste. Traditionally, a forkful of potato is dipped into the butter before eating.
