Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds fingerling or small yellow potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced green garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Cook the potatoes in a large pot of heavily salted boiling water for about 15 minutes, until tender.
  • (The cooking time will depend on the size and type of potato.)
  • When the potatoes have just cooled, crush them slightly on a cutting board with the heel of your hand or the back of a large spoon.
  • Heat a medium pot over high heat for 1 minute.
  • Add the butter, and when it foams, add the green garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper.
  • Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the green garlic has softened.
  • Add the potatoes, stirring and mashing them to incorporate all of the ingredients.
  • Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and cook another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, cover, and leave the pot on the stove.
  • When you are ready to serve the champ, make sure its hot, and then stir in the cream.
  • Taste for seasoning.
