Instructions
- Cook the peeled, cubed potatoes in boiling salted water until tender. Drain them and return them to the pan with a clean tea towel on top to help absorb extra moisture.
- Use a handheld potato masher or potato ricer to mash the potatoes thoroughly.
- While the potatoes are cooking, simmer the milk and scallions together for about five minutes. Do not let the milk boil, keep it at a low simmer only.
- Add the hot milk and scallions, salt, pepper, and 4 tablespoons of the butter. Stir until the butter has melted and everything is well combined.
- Melt the remaining two tablespoons of butter. Keep it warm to use for serving.
- Serve the champ piled high on the plate with a well of melted butter in the center. Eat from the outside, dipping each spoonful into the well of melted butter.
Notes
- Keep any leftovers in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. May be reheated in the microwave (use high power stirring every 30 seconds) or in the top of a double boiler.
- Choose a variety of potato with a high starch content like Russets or Yukon Gold. Russets are my preference because they mash with a more fluffy texture than some others.
- For the best flavor, use whole milk or even half and half.
- Keep any leftovers in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. May be reheated in the microwave (use high power stirring every 30 seconds) or in the top of a double boiler.
