Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter and saute potatoes, turning to coat.
- Stir in the chives and just enough water to keep potatoes from sticking to the pan.
- Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are done; check periodically and add a little water as needed to prevent potatoes from scorching.
- Mash potatoes in the pot (no need to drain); stir in salt & pepper to taste, and the sour cream.
- Serve Champit Tatties hot & garnished with snipped fresh parsley, or top with skirlie - oats fried in butter or crisp crumbled bacon, as desired.

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.

Steps:
- The day before you want to serve, preheat the oven to fan oven 200C/conventional 220C/gas 7. Put the potatoes into a pan of lightly salted water, return to the boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes, put them back into the pan and place it back on the heat for a couple of minutes to dry out.
- Meanwhile, pour the oil into a large roasting tin (you may have to use two) and heat it in the oven until smoking hot. Now stir the potatoes into the hot oil and return to the oven to roast, turning occasionally, for 55 minutes.
- Cook the swede in boiling salted water for 50-55 minutes, or until very soft. Drain and add to the roasted potatoes. Roughly mash everything together, keeping quite chunky, then cool, cover and keep in a cool place.
- To serve, preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Uncover the potatoes and swede, dot with the butter and put in the oven to reheat for 25-30 minutes, stirring now and again until piping hot. Serve with lots of butter.

SCOTTISH MINCE 'N TATTIES
My best friend married a gent from Glasgow, and he gave me this recipe because he got tired of cooking it for me all the time! It's simple and savoury, and if you want a truly authentic Scottish meal, serve it with buttered peas.

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.
