Let's gather the ingredients!
- 2½ pounds potatoes peeled and quartered
- 3 cups kale stemmed and sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup almond milk or other plant-based milk
- 1 tsp fresh dill chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Let's Begin!
In a large pot, put in the potatoes and enough water to cover the potatoes.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer, covered, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
When potatoes are nearly done, in a large skillet cook kale and garlic over medium for 2 to 3 minutes or until kale is wilted, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking.
Drain and mash potatoes. Gradually stir or beat in enough of the milk to make potatoes light and fluffy.
Stir in dill, then fold in the kale mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, top with additional dill.
Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
