Ingredients
- 5 medium russet potato peeled and diced
- 2 cups kale chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onion sliced
- 1/2 cup milk whole
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel and dice 5 medium russet potatoes. Place them in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover them by about an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 12–15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- While the potatoes cook, add 2 cups chopped kale 2 tablespoons sliced green onion, 1/2 cup whole milk, and 1/4 cup butter to a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is steaming, but not boiling, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the saucepan. Pour the warm milk mixture over the potatoes and mash until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to reach the desired consistency.
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, adding more to taste. Serve warm.

Notes
- If kale isn’t your thing, swap it for the same amount of shredded cabbage.
