Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 -6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/3-3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons nonfat sour cream
fresh curly-leaf parsley, snipped for garnish (optional)
skirlie oats (fine or medium oatmeal) (optional)
crumbled crisp bacon (optional)

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.
