Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs starchy potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
2 cups chopped kale or cabbage
4 green onions (chopped)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Peel and cut potatoes into even chunks. Place them in a large pot with cold water.
Boil potatoes for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender; then drain.
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté greens for 5-7 minutes until tender.
Return drained potatoes to the pot over low heat and mash until smooth.
Stir in heavy cream and butter while mashing. Season with salt and pepper.
Fold in sautéed greens and green onions until combined. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Notes
For added flavor, consider incorporating garlic powder or shredded carrots.
To make it vegan, substitute butter with olive oil and use plant-based milk.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days; reheat gently in the microwave.
