Directions for Kale Mashed Potatoes
1. Cut up potatoes into 1-1/2-inch chunks. Add them to a saucepan with cold water along with salt and garlic and bring all the ingredients to boil. After it comes to a boil, reduce the head to simmer and cook potatoes until tender. This should takes about 5 minutes.
2. Add the kale to the potatoes. You can continue cooking until the kale is tender and the potatoes are soft so you can mash them together.
3. Save 1/2 cup of the cooking water for use later.
4. Drain the potatoes and kale in a colander and transfer to a large bowl.
5. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved cooking water and the olive oil and mash to a chunky texture.
6. Add reserved water if the mixture looks dry.
7. Add black pepper and more salt to taste
Optional
- Add parsley. The red sauce is red pepper sauce my brother added but was not really to my liking nor my daughter’s.
