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.
