Buttery mashed potato folded through with tender kale or cabbage and spring onions — a classic Irish side, especially at Halloween, that is genuinely vegetarian on its own even though it is often served alongside bacon or sausages.
Boil the potatoes
Boil the potatoes in salted water until a knife slides in with no resistance, about 20 minutes.
20 minCook the kale
Meanwhile, boil or steam the shredded kale until tender and bright green, about 6 minutes, then drain it well.
6 minMash the potatoes
Drain the potatoes and mash them with half the butter and the milk until smooth.
Fold in the greens
Stir the cooked kale and spring onions into the mash until evenly speckled with green.
Finish and serve
Spoon into bowls, make a well in the center, and melt the remaining butter into it before serving.
