With alot of Irish now living in London it’s inevitable that we are going to get some of there national dishes over here so we’ve got to learn to cater for them, so this is how to make champ.
1 bag of potatoes, 4 spring onions, 300 ml milk, 10g butter, salt and pepper.
Peel and then half the potatoes and then put onto boil, add a dash of salt to the water, leave to boil until soft.
In another pan add the milk, chop the spring onions into cm pieces and add to the milk. Leave on a low heat to boil.
The potatoes should now be soft enough so drain the water and mash.
Once mashed add the now cooked milk to the mash and mix in, you should now have a beautiful smooth mash, so season to taste.
You now need a oven proof dish with a lid, i use my casserole dish. Put the mash into this dish, with the knob of butter push it into the mash, cover with the lid, put in an oven 180c or gas mark 7 for 10 mins and thats it, easy, Irish champ.
