Desti's green mashed potatoes

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 450 g kale, chopped
• 340 g potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
• 240 ml cream or milk
• 1 tbsp mustard
• salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

Kale with a twist

Boil the kale in plenty of salted water until tender (about 7 minutes), drain well, and then immediately place it in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once the kale has cooled, drain well again (but do not squeeze out any excess water) and set aside. While the kale is cooking, place the diced potatoes in a saucepan with the cream, about 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes (stirring occasionally), until the potatoes are tender. Puree the potatoes and kale, reheat everything, and season with salt, pepper, and mustard. Tips: If you need something quicker, you can also use canned/jarred or frozen kale. The puree can also be made ahead of time. To do this, simply reheat the puree over low heat. If you like, you can also add a little garlic to the dish and swap the whipped cream for whole milk for a more “hip-friendly version.”
