Irish Champ

Irish champ is an easy side dish of creamy mashed potato with spring onions, perfect with an Irish stew or roasted meat.

Champ might be considered the Irish version of "mashed" potatoes seasoned with scallions, onions, or chives. In times past, Champ was considered a meatless main dish. In modern times it is often served as a side dish.
