Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (900g) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- ½ cup milk (or cream for extra richness)
- 4 tbsp (½ stick / 55g) unsalted butter
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 cups chopped kale or green cabbage (stems removed)
- 3–4 green onions (scallions), thinly sliced
- Optional: extra pat of butter for topping
Instructions
- Cook potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 15–20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain well.
- Cook greens: While potatoes cook, steam or sauté kale/cabbage in a little water or butter until tender (3–5 minutes). Drain excess liquid.
- Mash: Return hot potatoes to pot. Add milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in greens & scallions: Gently stir in cooked kale/cabbage and most of the scallions (reserve some for garnish).
- Serve warm, topped with an extra pat of butter and remaining scallions.
💡 Pro Tips:
– Yukon Golds yield the creamiest texture, but Russets work too.
– For authentic flavor, use cabbage—but kale adds color and nutrients.
– Make it dairy-free: Use plant-based butter and unsweetened oat or almond milk.
