About Champ

Rory O’Connell’s scallion champ is an Irish potato dish enriched with milk and butter. This version selects scallions from the recipe’s onion choices and floury potatoes for the mash.

The scallions give the milk a gentle onion character. Butter adds richness, while salt and pepper season the potatoes without a separate spice mixture.

The finished mash is soft and presented in individual bowls or a larger dish. An optional extra knob of butter may sit within the potatoes, creating a rich centre in the serving.
