You have to taste it then you wont even ask that question. Its the onion and milk that makes it good i never eat mashed potato without onion in it. Its just better than plain old mash
Well not only am I a former chef my family is from Ireland, and what makes it best is the ingredients, lots of butter, cream or milk and the mashed potatoes, a mix or mealy and waxy ones make a good "champ".
A similar dish called "Colchonan", it is a mix of potatoes, cabbage, green onions and cream it is more dense and like a stew, but but are based on the flavour of the spuds and the creamy ingredients and lots of chopped green onions.
