This recipe is not dairy free. It was published before Simply Whisked went dairy free, but I have chosen not to remove it as a reference for incoming traffic. Feel free to swap dairy free substitutes for the ingredients to make it dairy free.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! To celebrate, I thought I would share a follow-up side dish recipe from my dinner last week. Since I had made Guinness braised beef, I figured why finish off the meal with an Irish accompaniment – champ. Champ is basically a gussied up mashed potatoes.
You cook the potatoes as you normally would, but instead of adding the milk and butter to the potatoes as you’re mashing, you heat the milk and butter with the green onions to infuse the liquid with some flavor. Add the potatoes and mash them up. It’s that simple.
