  • 2 cups chopped kale or green cabbage
  • 4 med. potatoes
  • 1 lg. onion
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 TBSP butter
  • 1 sprig parsley
  • salt and pepper

Boil potatoes until tender and mash with milk and butter. Cook kale and onions 5 minutes. Combine all in a casserole dish and bake at 300º F for 15 minutes.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve as part of an Irish feast or as an everyday side dish.

Variation:

For a heartier main dish version: Before baking, combine ingredients in a casserole dish and add a little nutmeg (freshly grated if possible). Make four hollows in the mixture and crack a whole egg into each. Season well with salt and pepper. Bake at 375º F for 12 minutes, or until the eggs are just set.

Serve sprinkled with grated mature cheese.
