Irish Champ Mashed Potatoes with Green Peas

Ingredients:

• 6-8 potatoes in their skins
• 1 cup fresh green peas
• 3 finely chopped green onions
• 1.5 cups of milk
• A pinch of sugar
• 4-8 tablespoons butter
• Salt and ground black pepper

Preparation:

1. Place the potatoes in a bowl and rinse thoroughly under cold running water. Place them in a medium saucepan and season with salt. Add enough water to completely cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, place the peas and onion in a small saucepan, pour in the milk, add the sugar, and place over medium heat. Bring slowly to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 3-4 minutes, until the peas are tender. Turn off the heat and let the contents of the saucepan steep.
3. Peel and mash the boiled potatoes while still hot, using a fork or a fine-mesh sieve. Add the warm milk mixture. Add a little butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the remaining butter on top.
