Mashed Potatoes With Green Onions

Leslie in Texas's Note:

This special version of mashed potatoes is called "champ" by the Irish- decadent is what I'd call these! These go great with Lamb Shanks in Guinness With Country Vegetables and is originally from a 1995 Bon Appetit.

Yummy! I've had this in my cookbook for some time now and have finally gotten around to making it! A nice change to just ordinary mashed taters. I added some nutmeg to the milk and used salted butter. Served with haggis and (for PAC Fall 2007)Balsamic Butter Glazed Baby Carrots. Thanks Leslie!

I think I'll add sour cream to it next time. These were wonderful! Great with Lamb!
