Kale Colcannon

This is a variation of the classic Irish dish of cabbage and mashed potatoes.

4 medium potatoes, quartered
3 1/2 cups chopped kale
1 tablespoon butter
3 leeks or 1 large onion, chopped
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Steam potatoes. Steam kale separately. Meanwhile, heat butter in skillet, add leeks or onion and cook until soft, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. When potatoes are tender, peel and mash tem. When kale is tender, drain well. Combine potatoes, kale, leeks, milk, parsley, salt and pepper.

Serves 4.
