A delightful twist on the classic Irish dish, combining creamy mashed potatoes with tender kale for a flavorful and nutritious side.
Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks.
Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes.
Test the potatoes with a fork; they should be soft but not falling apart.
Steam the kale until wilted and tender, about 5 minutes.
Avoid overcooking the kale to retain its vibrant green color.
Mash the potatoes with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Warm the milk slightly before adding to the potatoes for a smoother mash.
Stir in the steamed kale and chopped scallions.
Fold the ingredients gently to keep the texture light and fluffy.
Serve warm, garnished with a pat of butter if desired.
For a festive touch, add a sprinkle of chopped parsley on top.
