Cook peeled potatoes in boiling salted water until tender. Drain and return briefly to the heat to remove excess moisture.

In a saucepan melt the butter and soften the scallions gently for two minutes. Add the milk and cream and warm gently.

Season the potatoes with white pepper and nutmeg and mash. Gradually add the warm milk and scallion mixture until smooth and creamy.

Brian’s Tip

Leftover champ can be turned into potato cakes by mixing with a little flour, shaping and frying gently in butter.
