Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 150g kale
  • 6 firm, fat scallions
  • 75g butter, plus extra to serve
  • 100ml whole milk, or light cream
  • 25ml kefir (TFD addition, replace with more milk or cream for traditional recipe)
  • Salt and black pepper
  • a bit of melted bacon fat (TFD addition, used in some recipes but not all)
  • 1 roasted garlic clove, or to taste (TFD optional addition, omit for classic recipe)


Instructions

  1. Scrub the potatoes clean, then put them into a large saucepan, with the larger spuds at the bottom. Cover with cold, salted water and bring to a boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes, until just soft but not cooked through. Tip out two-thirds of the water, cover and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through – keep an eye on the pan to make sure it doesn’t boil dry.
  2. Blanch the greens in salted, boiling water, until tender but not overly soft. Drain and finely chop with the scallions (or blitz briefly in a food processor until chopped, but not pureed).
  3. Once the potatoes are done, drain and put them back in the hot pan. Cover with a tea towel and leave to steam for five minutes. In the meantime, melt the butter and bring the milk or cream (and kefir, if using) to a simmer; keep both warm. Put a serving dish into a warm oven or fill with boiling water.
  4. Peel the potatoes, holding them in a tea towel to protect your hands, then mash or pass through a ricer. Add in garlic and a touch of bacon fat and mash further. Beat in the melted butter, followed by the milk, until the mash is of a consistency you like.
  5. Stir in the greens and season to taste.
  6. Spoon into the warmed dish, in the shape of a mound, put a big dent in the top and put a big knob of butter in it and serve immediately.
