Champ Recipe

Champ is a traditional Irish mashed potato side dish. It is served piping hot in mounds on plates. You make a hollow in the centre of your mound of champ, and place a big gob of butter in that hollow where it will melt. You eat champ from the outside of the mound in, dipping each forkful into the pool of melted butter. This dish is very similar to Colcannon.
