Instructions
- Cook the potatoes in a large, salted pot of boiling water until they're good and tender. Drain when they're cooked.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon until it's just crispy over medium-high heat in a skillet.
- Once the bacon is about done, add the kale to the skillet. Cook it until tender (about 4-5 minutes).
- Add the scallions to the skillet and cook for a minute or two (just enough to take the sharp edge off).
- Mash the potatoes with the cream and butter. Add the kale mix to the potatoes and mash it in until it's completely incorporated. If needed, add some salt & pepper.
- Serve with a generous pat of butter on top. Enjoy!
Notes
- Servies 4-6.
