Potatoes – how do I love thee? Let me count the ways…corny, I know – but true!!!! Today I have brought you my take on Irish Champ Potatoes.

As per usual I will put in a bit of a disclaimer – this recipe may not be “traditional”, I just go with what I think (and hopefully you guys!) tastes good.

What is Irish Champ?

Basically, it is creamy mashed potatoes with the addition of green onions/scallions/shallots (or whatever you call them where you come from!) and LASHINGS of butter, with garlic added to the butter for good measure.

Not to be confused with Colcannon – another Irish mashed potato recipe that folds through cooked cabbage. Sooooo good as well. I should have married an Irishman, I would fit right in!

Another mashed potato recipe brought to you by your friendly neighbourhood potato addict…if this sounds like you too, then check out all my potato-should-be-a-food-group recipes below!

Spinach Mashed Potatoes –  fluffy & creamy Spinach Mashed Potatoes loaded with green spinach, herbs & feta. No need for greens with this side dish, it’s all in one.

Mustard Mashed Potatoes – rich, creamy, fluffy mash swirled with a ribbon of decadent garlic & mustard butter.

Warm Mustard Potato Salad – my no mayo potato salad using new potatoes, leeks and bacon.

Mashed Potato Cakes – little cakes of mashed potato, wrapped in bacon and oven baked.

Extra Crispy Potatoes – use my secret ingredient to get roast potatoes that are crispy, super crunchy and glass-like on the outside but fluffy in the middle. The ultimate in roast potatoes!

  • Add about 1 tbsp of melted butter to mashed potatoes, then add milk gradually a little at a time, mixing, until you reach your desired texture.
  • Then add sliced shallots / scallions (reserving a few slices for garnish if you like) and mix lightly to incorporate.
  • At this stage, taste to check for seasoning, adding salt as required.
  • Add crushed garlic clove to the remaining melted butter and stir.
  • Spoon potato mixture onto serving dish / bowl and make an indent in the center using the back of a spoon. See photo in my post above.
  • Pour garlic butter into the center of the mound of mashed potatoes, sprinkle with reserved shallots / scallions if using.
  • Serve immediately.
