Irish Champ

Irish Champ

4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
3 green onions, minced
4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
Salt & Pepper to taste

Cover the diced potatoes with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are just soft (don't overcook!) Meanwhile, combine the green onions and butter in a small bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and microwave for 30 seconds more. Drain potatoes and return to hot pan and shake over hot burner to dry them out a bit. Add the butter mixture and mash lightly (I like them really thick and lumpy!) with a potato masher. Stir in cream just until combined and season with extra salt if needed and pepper. If you like smoother, runnier potatoes mash longer and add more cream, though why you'd want to do that is beyond my understanding. :-)

This are DEE-licious! Served with Pan Seared New York Strips...awesome!
