Here's is my favorite Irish dish. A meal in itself and very much comfort food. It strays from your normal mashed potatoes but when you try it, you'll love it!
5 russet potatoes
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup whole milk
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 large shallots, thinly sliced
1 large leek-halved and thinly sliced
1 bunch kale, stemmed and coarsely chopped
1 head cabbage, cored and coarsely chopped
1/4 teaspoons salt
2/3 cups chopped green onion tops
Cut and steam the potatoes until tender. Return to the still hot pot and add 1/4 cup butter, milk, kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Mash together. Melt the remaining butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add shallots and leeks. Saute until they begin to soften. Add the kale and toss until soft and wilted but still bright green, about 3 minutes. Add the cabbage and toss until tender-crisp, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and the remaining pepper. Mix the cabbage and mashed potatoes together well. Sprinkle with the green onion slices before serving.
