Champ

St. Patrick's Day recipe number 3--Submitted by Stacey Hutchings

3 pounds boiling potatoes

8 scallions

6 TB butter

salt and pepper

6 TB milk

Cut potatoes in chunks. Put in a large pot with salted water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain. Slice scallions, including green tops. Melt butter in same pan you cooked potatoes in. Cook scallions. Mash potatoes with butter, salt and pepper to taste and milk. Combine with scallions.

Cook's Note: Champ is just mashed potatoes with green onions mixed in. Don't ask me why they call green onions scallions, but the picture showed green onions in the potatoes. We like smashed (cooked, but not peeled) red potatoes at our house, and kids don't like the onions mixed in, so I just sprinkle some on top for looks.
