The simple yet sublime twist of adding green onions to mashed potatoes makes this traditional Irish dish known as champ. Use a vegetable mill or potato ricer for a light, airy and refined texture, just like you'd find in a restaurant.

Method
In saucepan of boiling salted water, cook potatoes, onion, garlic and bay leaf until potatoes are tender, about 18 minutes.Drain and return to pot; shake over low heat for 1 minute to dry. Discard onion and bay leaf. Remove from heat; mash until smooth or press through food mill or ricer.
Meanwhile, in small saucepan, heat cream with butter over medium-low heat until hot. Stir into potatoes along with 1/2 cup of the green onions, salt, nutmeg and pepper. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in covered ovenproof dish for up to 24 hours; reheat, covered, in 350°F/180°C oven until hot, about 25 minutes.)
Serve sprinkled with remaining green onions.
