- 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.
