Ingredients
  • 4 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1 stick butter, plus more for serving
  • 3 cups chopped kale or cabbage
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 cup milk
Directions
  1. Put the chopped potatoes in a large pot of boiling water. Add a pinch of salt to season. Boil until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain in a colander.
  2. Place a skillet on your stove and heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the kale and sauté until wilted, around 3-4 minutes. Then add the green onions.
  3. Put the potatoes back in the large pot and mash them with a masher before adding the kale and green onions.
  4. Add the milk to the pot. Using a spoon, mix the ingredients well, so it becomes smooth. Add 1 teaspoon salt, depending on taste.
  5. Serve with extra butter.
