  • 2 tbsp plantbased margarine
  • 50 mL plantbased milk
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Peel and cut potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place in a pot and cover with lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are on the verge of falling apart, ~15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, rinse the kale and discard the stems.

  • When the potatoes are just about done, add the kale and push it down into the water. Let cook for 1-2 minutes.
    Drain the pot, either using the lid to stop kale and potatoes from pouring out, or using a strainer.
  • Add margarine and plantbased milk to the potatoes and kale in the ppot. Add a bit of salt and pepper. Add a little milk first, then more as needed.
    Mash with a potato masher, add more milk and/or margarine to control the texture,
  • Serve with your protein of choice (if any).
