📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Champ is a mashed potato from Northern Ireland: chopped green onions are simmered in milk to infuse it, then combined with potatoes. Alongside colcannon, it's one of Ireland's iconic potato dishes, and it's traditionally eaten with a well of butter in the center, scooping from the outside and dipping into the butter.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At lunch on a cold day, a steaming mound of green-flecked mash is heaped on the farmhouse table as the butter in the center melts to gold.
