Emerald Mashed Potatoes

The only change I made was to add an extra tablespoon of butter and my potatoes needed to cook for about 35 minutes rather than 25 to be soft enough to mash. This is an excellent dish to get your vitamins, but somehow it didn't quite go over in my house. The taste was okay, though I think it would have been better if I had noticed the part about adding roasted garlic. The texture's a bit odd, maybe I just wasn't expecting the kale to be crunchy and we might get used to it if we try it again. Thanks for posting.

This is a great recipe that I encourage everyone to try. The kale just makes the mashed potatoes taste more interesting. It doen't end up tasting like a vegetable dish. The taste is actually quite addictive. Now, I miss kale in my mashed potatoes, if I make the plain old mashed potatoes! Thank you for a wonderful, healthy recipe!!!

Hey Mirjam, great mashed potatoes!!!I used spinach instead of kale, it was very good and I added about 4 cloves of garlic to the potato water and mashed them into the potatoes. Just one tiny problem, too much milk, could only add about 1 cup, but used a slotted spoon to get all the green goodies out of the rest into the potatoes. Will be making these often, Thanks for sharing a good one. — posted Feb 11, 2002,UPDATE: Did these wonderful mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner, they always go over big for special dinners, everyone loves them, again I used fresh spinach, thanks again for a very good dish!!
