Mashed Potatoes with Kale

3 pounds potatoes, cut and peeled into large chunks*
Salt
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch kale chopped (large stems removed)
1/2 cup warm milk or cream
Ground black pepper
5 green onions, white and tender green parts, chopped

Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil and continue boiling for 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.

Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, chopped kale, a big pinch of salt, and saute until tender – Approximately one minute. Set aside.

Mash the potatoes. Stir in the milk or cream. You want a thick, creamy texture.  If your potatoes are on the dry side keep adding milk until the texture is just right. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour the kale on top of the potatoes and stir. Transfer to a serving bowl, make a well in the center of the potatoes and pour the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with the green onions and enjoy!
