Irish Champ (or spring onion mash) is a beautiful traditional Irish side dish which is easy to make and it's also a great way to use up any fresh or leftover potatoes.
Irish champ is a great alternative to mashed potatoes. It is creamy (the perfect texture for weaning babies!) and the spring onion adds a delicious flavour while also adding great colour to the dish. Your whole family will find this side dish delicious!
Floury potatoes work best for this dish. Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days in your Mummy Cooks portion pots.
