Ultra-Creamy Irish Champ

This super creamy Champ, loaded with sweet tender scallions would make for a great side with anything, but I've added some nutty gorgonzola which takes these mashed potatoes to another level.

Champ is a classic Irish side made with ultra-creamy mashed potatoes and sweet scallions. My version steps it up a notch with the addition of nutty and flavorful Gorgonzola Dolce.

Instructions

Scrub the 600 grams potatoes and then put them in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with a few inches of water. Bring the water to a boil, and then turn down the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Boil the potatoes whole until a skewer easily passes through them. Drain the potatoes and let them cool enough to handle.
