2 Pound starchy potatoes (Russets, for example), peeled and halved if large
1 Bunch kale, trimmed from stems, washed well and chopped small (approximately one quart, packed)
5 Tablespoon butter
.5 Cup chicken stock
.5 Cup milk
2 Clove garlic, minced
3 scallions, greens only, sliced (with some reserved for garnish)
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Boil potatoes in salted water until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside. Melt butter in medium-large sauce pan over medium heat. Stir in garlic and let cook, but not brown, approximately 1-2 minutes. Add stock and milk and bring to a simmer. Add kale to the pot — greens will wilt down to a much smaller volume quickly. Cover and cook until greens begin wilt and darken in color, 3-5 minutes. Mash potatoes in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add kale and stock, plus scallions. Stir, season to taste. Garnish with scallions and extra butter (per the song), if desired.
