Champ (brúitín in Irish) is a northern Irish dish, made by combining [[Mashed potatoes|mashed potatoes]] and [[Chopped spring onions|chopped spring onions]] with [[Butter|butter]] and [[Milk|milk]], and optionally, [[Salt|salt]] and [[Pepper|pepper]]. It is simple and inexpensive to produce. In some areas the dish is also called "[[Poundies|poundies]]."

Champ is similar to another Irish dish, [[Colcannon|colcannon]], which uses [[Kale|kale]] or [[Cabbage|cabbage]] in place of [[Scallions|scallions]].

The word champ has also been adopted into a popular northern Irish phrase, to be "as thick as champ", meaning to be stupid.
