Heat a pan of salted water and boil the potatoes in there skins until tender. Drain and dry them over a low heat. Peel and mash them well. While the potatoes are cooking put the milk and chopped spring onions into a saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer for a few minutes. Gradually beat into the mashed potatoes to form a soft but sloppy mixture. Beat in half the butter and season well. Divide champ between four serving plates and make a well in the centre of each serving. Cut the remaining butter into four pieces and put one in each well. Serve and enjoy.

Introduction
Traditional Irish way of serving mashed potatoes. Traditionally this would have been a main meal but goes well with most things as a side dish. The spring onions can be replaced by young nettle tops or herbs as a variation.
