Green Onion Champ

So this is mashed potatoes with green onions in them. Like all mashed potatoes, there is never enough salt. Once D got that fixed then it was good, but it needed sour cream on top. So I put it on. D put the gravy from the Smothered Pork Chops on it. It was good.

Green Onion Champ

A bowl of buttery mashed potatoes--known as champ in Ireland--flecked with green onions "is comfort food at its best," says Allen.

YIELD: 6 servings (serving size: 1 cup)
COURSE: Side Dishes/Vegetables

Ingredients
7 cups cubed peeled Yukon gold potato (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 1/4 cups whole milk
3/4 cup finely chopped green onions
3 tablespoons butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Place potato in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until potato is tender; drain.

Combine milk and onions in a small saucepan; bring to a simmer. Cook 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Combine potato, milk mixture, butter, salt, and pepper in a bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth.
