Ingredients
4 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
4 tbsp unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced or 1 tsp garlic powder
1 large bunch kale, stems discarded, rinsed thoroughly of grit
1 c whole milk ( may need less)
1 c goat cheese, at room temperature
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions
Place potatoes in a large stockpot and fill with water to cover. Salt well and
bring to a boil. Cook for 15 - 20 minutes until fork-tender
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a large pan and sauté the garlic and
kale until tender, about 3-5 minutes, and set aside.
Drain potatoes and return to pot. Mash with a potato masher, then add the milk
gradually, mixing to incorporate. You may find you do not need the full cup of milk.
Do not over mash or you'll get gummy, flat potatoes.
Stir in goat cheese and kale, add salt and pepper to taste and serve. Can be made a day ahead of time and reheated in a pot over low heat or in the oven or microwave.
