Ingredients Galore!
Before we get too carried away with dreaming about this creamy potato goodness, let’s gather our supplies. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 pounds of potatoes (preferably russet for that perfect fluffiness)
- 1 cup of milk (because dreams are made of creamy textures)
- 1 stick of butter (the golden goodness that makes everything better)
- 4-6 green onions (or scallions, because we fancy like that)
- Salt, to taste (don’t be shy!)
- Fresh pepper (for a little kick!)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that we have everything ready, let’s turn those potatoes into potato royalty!
- Peel and chop the potatoes into even chunks. This way, they’ll cook evenly and you won’t end up with some mushy bits and some hard ones. That’s a culinary nightmare!
- Place the potatoes in a pot, cover them with cold water, and bring to a boil. Add a pinch of salt because we want to get those potatoes well-seasoned before they become a frontrunner in this dish!
- Once the potatoes are tender (about 15-20 minutes), drain them and return them to the pot. Dry them out for a minute over low heat. This will get rid of any excess moisture — and who wants watery Champ? Not us!
- Add the butter and start mashing! You want to achieve that silky smooth texture, so keep mashing away.
- Gradually stir in the milk until you reach your desired creaminess. Post-mash tasting is totally acceptable here, so go ahead and dig in!
- Mix in the chopped green onions for that fresh crunch, and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Serve hot, and maybe even throw in a little extra butter on top — because why not? Live a little!
Enjoy the Creamy Goodness!
And there you have it, folks! Your very own Irish Champ that’s ready to impress your friends, and family, and maybe even the neighbors! Dive in and enjoy the creamy, buttery, and flavorful adventure that is this delightful dish.
