Best Mashed Potatoes
When potatoes are boiled and mashed the texture can have too much of the water from boiling. Instead, try this highly nutritious twist on mashed potatoes. It can make a greens lover out of a picky child, or at least it has for me.
Ingredients
- 6 medium potatoes , washed and quartered
- ½ bunch kale , preferably lacinato, coarsely chopped
- 4 T oil or butter
- milk or water to your desired texture
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place a strainer basket in the bottom of a medium-sized pot. Put in water to reach the bottom of the basket. Pile in potatoes with kale on top. Cover and bring water to a boil. Reduce heat and steam for 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Put oil into a large bowl, and mash potatoes and kale together, adding salt and liquid of choice to reach your desired texture. For ultimate mashed potatoes, put the spuds through a ricer after cooking but before recombining with kale! This is excellent with crumbled bacon.
