"Looks similar to colcannon, but champ is native to the North of Ireland. It's made by blending scallions or green onions with creamy mashed potatoes," recipe contributor Ita says. "Great on its own, served steaming hot with extra butter which will melt through it. But it's also the perfect side dish for good quality sausages."

"I made this tonight for my Irish wife. It turned out wonderful," Tommy Jordan says. "The recipe doesn't specify, but I used yellow sweet onions rather than white and I was very pleased with the sweet caramelized results. My wife is hard to please because she's such a great cook herself, and she loved it."
