    This recipe is adapted from an Irish cookbook that my mother brought back from Ireland a few years ago. "Onion Colcannon is an old recipe for colcannon that uses parsley and onion instead of cabbage or kale".

    When looking around the Google, I realized that this recipe looks more like Champ (with spring onions) than Colcannon so I went with that name. I knew it would confuse too many people if I used their name!!

    Ingredients needed

    Instant Pot Irish Champ Potatoes ingredients.
    • I used Russet potatoes but Yukon gold will work as well.
    • The original recipe used water, but chicken stock adds so much amazing flavor! You can substitute vegetable stock or water if you prefer.
    • Sweet yellow onion adds a wonderful flavor without being overpowering and do not add any color.
    • Irish butter and milk add flavor and creaminess. Whole milk will be the creamiest, but any milk will work.
    • Fresh parsley adds bright color and subtle flavor. Italian or curly will work.

    Recipe Notes & Tips

    • Cut the potatoes into uniform cubes so they cook in the same amount of time.
    • I peeled mine, but unpeeled "rustic style" is delicious as well.
    • These mashed potatoes are Whole30 and Paleo compliant if you use non-dairy milk and ghee.
    • The 8 minutes cooking time does not include the time it takes for the pressure to build before it starts cooking, about 10 additional minutes.

    Got leftovers?

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, or on the stove with additional chicken stock or milk to thin as needed.
