Potatoes Recipes

Yield: Serves 4

Irish comfort food at its best.

• 8 medium all-purpose potatoes
• 1 head curly kale, chopped fine
• 1-1/4 cups milk
• 6 scallions, diced fine
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
• 8 tablespoons butter, divided

Peel potatoes. In a saucepan, cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes or until done. Strain off water. Let potatoes dry, then hand mash. In a 2-quart pot, boil the kale in salted water until tender, about 25 minutes. In a large saucepan, over low heat, heat the milk with scallions, parsley, and thyme. Strain the chopped kale and add to milk. Simmer for 3 minutes. Add mashed potatoes to kale, stir in 4 tablespoons butter, and mix to a creamy consistency. Correct seasoning. Place into a serving dish, making a well in the center. Fill generously with remaining butter and serve.
