2 cups chopped Kale or Green Cabbage

• 4 med. Potatoes
• 1 lg. Onion
• 1/3 cup Milk
• 2 TBSP Butter
• 1 sprig Parsley
• Salt and Pepper
  

Boil potatoes until tender and mash with milk and butter. Cook kale and onions 5 minutes. Combine all in a casserole dish and bake at 300º F for 15 minutes.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve as part of an Irish feast or as an everyday side dish.

Variation:

For a heartier main dish version: Before baking, combine ingredients in a casserole dish and add a little nutmeg (freshly grated if possible). Make four hollows in the mixture and crack a whole egg into each. Season well with salt and pepper. Bake at 375º F for 12 minutes, or until the eggs are just set.

Serve sprinkled with grated mature cheese.
