Ingredients 

3 lb potatoes Russet or Yukon 

1 leek chopped  

4 cups of kale chopped 

1 bunch of scallions chopped 

1 cup milk 

1/2 cup heavy cream 

6 tbsp butter divided 

Salt and black pepper to taste 

Instructions 

Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. 

While the potatoes are cooking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped leeks and cook for about 3–4 minutes, until softened. Stir in the chopped kale and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until wilted. Add scallions and stir again. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat. 

In a small saucepan, heat the milk, heavy cream and butter over low heat until warm but not boiling. 

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Gradually stir in the warm milk mixture, mashing until creamy. 

Fold in the cooked leeks, kale, and scallions. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. 

Put the skillet under broil for 5 minutes for some golden edges.  

Serve it with extra pat of butter for a rich finish. Serve warm and enjoy!
