Ingredients

8 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and halved
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup milk or light cream
1 small green cabbage, cored and sliced thin
1 -2 cups of kale, ribs removed and sliced thin
6-8 scallions finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt and the potatoes. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain in a colander then return to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth then add the milk and 6 tablespoons of the butter. Salt and pepper the mixture and set aside to keep warm while preparing the cabbage.
Add the sliced kale and cabbage to a pot of boiling, salted water. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until soft. Drain well. You may also sauté the cabbage and kale in a large skillet with a little olive oil until wilted, if preferred.
Mix the potato and cabbage together and stir in the scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
To serve, scoop potatoes into a serving bowl and make a well in the center. Add the remaining butter and garnish with a few pieces of chopped scallion.
