Best Champit Tatties Scottish Mashed Potatoes Recipes
CHAMPIT TATTIES WITH SKIRLIE
This recipe is from Scotland; in Aberdeenshire it is traditionally served on Saturdays. In other parts of Scotland the skirlie part of this dish is served as an accompaniment to mince or used as a stuffing for chicken, game or lamb. Carniverous cooks can use 1 1/2 ounces of good quality beef dripping instead of butter for frying the skirlie, if they wish. I've not tried this recipe yet (which comes from an old Sainsbury's magazine), but the Zaar World Tour 2005 provides the perfect opportunity to post it. NB this recipe measures in UK fluid ounces, which is slightly different to the USA fluid ounce.

- Meanwhile put the potatoes for the champit tatties in a large pan of salted water, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes until they are tender.
- When the onions are cooked, mix in the oats, increase the heat slightly and fry, stirring often, until well toasted and golden: remove from heat and season with nutmeg, salt and pepper: set aside.
- Towards the end of the cooking time for the potatoes, heat the milk over a low heat (don't boil it).
- Drain the potatoes and mash them well potatoes then slowly beat in the hot milk and remaining butter at the same: season and spoon into a warm serving dish.
- To serve, reheat the skirlie if necessary, stir in the parsley then scatter over the tatties.

SKIRLIE MASH - SCOTTISH MASHED POTATOES WITH ONIONS AND OATS
A beautiful, creamy and traditional accompaniment for your Burns Night haggis, Hogmanay or indeed any beef or game dishes; this mashed potato is delicious and very nutritious. It contains onions as well as oats, for a mashed potato recipe which is delightfully different! The word "skirlie" is the name of the oatmeal and onion compound that is added to the mashed potatoes, as you have to "skirl" it around the pan! Skirlie is often used as a base for stuffing, and is made and eaten in Northern England, as well as in Scotland. This recipe was taken from BBC Good Food, January 2006.

Steps:
- Boil the potatoes until very tender, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the skirlie. Heat the butter in a frying pan, add the onion and cook for 10 mins until golden and soft. Add the oatmeal and stir until the butter is absorbed and the mix looks dry. Continue cooking until the skirlie is toasted, stirring (skirling round the pan) all the time for 5 mins, but do not let it catch and burn. Remove and keep warm.
- Drain the potatoes, return to the hot pan and mash really well. Beat in the cream, parsley and skirlie, then season to taste with salt and white pepper.
- Serve immediately before the skirlie softens, with haggis or any beef and game dishes.
