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
2 1/2 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 tasteRecipe
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.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
