It kind of makes me sad. I'm in my 40s and was reared and grew up in a very traditional Irish family (I'm still in Ireland) and I find the old way of cooking and baking is changing. I feed all my family with how I was fed and still cook and do the whole traditional ritual that comes with it. I hope the next generation see the benefits of 'have a slice of bread with that' and ' teapots on the table' no matter what meal it is. Great video loved it

She put about 1.5 teaspoons in, then the salt in the butter as well as that naturally occurring in the potatoes. I for one am particularly susceptible to salt in my diet, can't ever add it to cooking, and have to be very careful when eating out. I have had multiple organ failure, and have buggered up my natural kidneys as well as a transplanted one, and am on dialysis. I need to take my BP several times a day, and can see my BP rise by 30 points just from eating a shop bought sandwich.

Awww man !

[@alastairmurray5225]

Laura Metheny good on ya girl butter is the real deal . Over the years , like a lot of people, I’ve listened to “experts” tell us about the dangers of fats and I’ve tried all the trends and alternatives to butter but came to the conclusion that it was all bollocks so I’ve been using real butter for years and haven’t looked back . I don’t know where you live but here in Northern Ireland the economy is largely based on agriculture so until a few years ago until the big multinational companies moved in there were lots of local creameries producing, butter , cheese etc etc which kept the price of dairy products at very reasonable prices so we were lucky as kids to always have the real deal plus sometimes if some of the local farmers had a surplus of milk they would make butter themselves and give it to their neighbours.

Champ is literally so delicious. My old mam made class champ. People might say it's a bit heavy on the butter but it's from a time when people would have had a wee bit of land and a milk cow.

My family recipe the same but technique slightly different. My mother's maternal grandmother came from Tipperary in the 1890's. My paternal grandmother came from Cork in 1923. Though all my ancestors are Munster Irish except one German great-grandfather, these two are the cooking sources. Perhaps any differences are Munster, especially Cork, Kerrry & Tipperary, from the rest of the island. Russet, or another floury potato, peeled and cut into quarters. Put into generously salted cold water and bring uncovered to a boil in a 4 quart pot or larger. Simmer partially covered 18 to 22 minutes until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, even slightly falling to pieces. Drain, the liquid can be used as a potato soup base. Put the pot back on the stove at lowest possible heat for a minute or two to "dry out" the potatoes. Add a cube, a quarter pound, of Irish butter or more, depending on the amount of potatoes. Use a masher with large holes, NOT A RICER, and mash the potatoes and butter together until blended. Add cold cream, half and half, or milk gradually while continuing to mash until smooth and fluffy (light whipping cream or half and half are best). Check for seasoning and add salt as needed. Fold in the green onions, prepared exactly as she does in the video, with a flexible spatula or a wooden spoon until mixed uniformly. Put in a bowl and serve, or serve directly from the pot onto an individual plate or bowl. The proper way to plate is as she shows. Mound it, make a hollow in the center, add more Irish butter and let it melt. Then pepper to taste. I personally developed the habit of sprinkling sweet or smoked paprika on the top after the black pepper. While this can be the main course, usually it's served with a meat or fish and one or two kinds of vegetables. Taught this to my family and still eat it often. Colcannon is more Northern Irish but basically the same thing with shredded, boiled and cooked kale added instead of, or in addition to, the green (or spring) onions. Also very good. You don't notice the sometimes overwhelming bitterness of the kale. Try either of these with properly cooked Southern style collard or mustard greens someday. Outstanding!!

There's a French-Canadian version that is made here in Maine in the U.S. We prepare the potatoes the same way, but we fry either green onions or chopped regular onions in lots of butter and add them at the end like she does the green onions. We also use a lot of salt and some black pepper. It is absolutely delicious. I am going to try this recipe, though, too!

Nothing like it in the world , everything tastes better in glass , I miss the milk man who would deliver milk , good butter , cheese , OMG and chocolate milk , cottage cheese , sour cream oh my I can't stand it , you young people have no idea what you have missed , and real food oh my I have to stop , lol . 🇺🇸😘

[@elleh3495]

Edna Perhach i agree. there are places on local farms that still do this, but it's not the norm anymore. I have to laugh about chocolate milk...years ago i had a favorite professor in college who was IN LOVE with chocolate milk. He drank it every day--but the cheap Dean's stuff in a plastic carton. I brought him in the home made full fat chocolate milk in a glass bottle from a local organic dairy...that started something🤣🤣🤣He always said "you got me hooked on that milk and now I have to drive miles and miles to get my fix". He said he drank half a gallon by himself in one day sometimes🤣🤣.

[@user-pf3hd3db6l]

@@ednaperhach2769 really? Well in India we still consume milk in raw form. Its like a ritual to us, we believe drinking raw milk with a hint of turmeric and cashew powder makes our brain sharper 😁.

My mother made this since I can remember. I still make it, but I do put the scallions in the potatoes and milk before mashing. Lovely. Thank You.

We had this for dinner, a lot. [no heavy salt] Usually with Italian pork chops, Italian green beans with garlic. Courtesy of my Irish mom, Italian dad. Back in the day, food tasted like food. Especially potatoes. They had a unique flavor. Today, to get that, I have to buy organic small batch..$$$$. Been looking at videos to start growing spuds in buckets. Or maybe Earthboxes. Thanks for the video.

[@mikeblair2594]

Taters are dead easy to grow.when I lived in a city, I made a pile of dirt and compost in the corner of a disused parking lot and no body knew the difference. I wound up with enough taters from about a square yard of dirt that I was able to give some to all the old folks in my building.

[@petervlcko4858]

my grand mother form slovakia use to make similar thing. she took left over mush or whatever potatoes and put butter with onion to fry intil golden brown and then mix it with potatoes and instead of scalions she put in it plenty of red paprika powder (hungarian influence). then she mix it until it was all mush nice red. all done on the stove on minimum fire or little more. she also eat it with soured milk or batter milk. i do it sometimes for me when i remind myself. in some cases was butter replaced by lard. it was all depend on what she can source at the time. this is nice to see. simple dish. i can see that fried egg can go nicely on the top sometimes and you just dig into potatoes through it. :P

I still have this from time to time and it is as we say in the northeast “Champion” especially with sausages. Thank you for uploading this.

[@decab8292]

Kathleen Flacy Well sort of but mash is just potato mashed with butter and a little milk, it doesn’t have scallions or chives mixed in. But you definitely need decent sausage from a good butchers or farm shop. Hope this helps.

[@brianmccarthy5557]

No. I've never been able to find what I called mashed potatoes as a kid anywhere except Irish tables. I was in my 20's before I realized I'd been eating champ all my life. Check out all the potato recipes in books or on the net you want, none are champ. Most just mash potatoes by themselves, some add stock or oil, others cheeses, others God knows what. Sorry Lidia Bastianich, Julia Child and a hundred other great chefs, you can't make champ! The watery feeble excuse the English call "mash" is not champ. Their sausages aren't bad, but not as good as Germany and Eastern Europe.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

This is almost exactly how my great grandmother made mashed potatoes. She was born in Galway but came to America ca 1902. I didn't know the Irish called it champ. She just called it "tatoes." I change it up now and then and add other things like whatever cheese I have on hand or fresh roasted garlic and onions. Carrot greens will give it a bit of a bite and almost any herb you would season vegetables with will enhance it. I have a rosemary tree I take clippings from and just toss a branch into the pot before baking in the oven and I ALWAYS leave the skin on which makes it taste a lot better.

[@corryjookit7818]

I make this with a stew, I melt most of butter,, then, once I've mashed the potatoes into a round heap and made a Well in the top, I just put the melted butter into the potato mound, and after a few minutes its melted and ready. The heat of the stew also helps melt the butter. Lamb or Beef, it's all good. I love it. It's an old Robert Carrier recipe and its superb ! Serve with some cabbage too. Mmm! .

Irish butter is really beautiful. We had our local supermarkets here in Australia, order some from Ireland, it was called Kerri Gold? The availability stopped as it became two expensive for shoppers to buy. We live on the fringe of the desert between two gulfs.I guess the extra mileage makes the difference. Also the percentage of Irish in the region. "So guess what" I buy thick cream and make my own! Nice on potato Farls, Champ and Soda bread.

I had a very well meaning but not Irish friend who decided to surprise me one day by making this “traditional Irish dish”. Except they didn’t use potatoes, they used those weird flakes that come in a box that are supposed to be potatoes but who knows what the hell they really are. I’m pretty certain my Gran would’ve called the resulting dish a cardinal sin. He never even realized that there is a difference, bless him. Oh well, it was the thought that counts lol.
