Mashed potatoes with goat cheese & kale

Mashed potatoes with goat cheese and kale

Last week I wanted to try another recipe that used goat cheese. I found this one below:

Mashed Potatoes with Goat Cheese & Kale

Servings: 8
Ingredients
4 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large bunch kale, stems discarded, rinsed thoroughly of grit
1 cup whole milk
1 cup goat cheese, at room temperature
salt, to taste
1 cup onions (I added maui onions even though the recipe doesn't call for onions)
Directions:
1.Place potatoes in a large stockpot with and fill with water to cover. Salt well and bring to a boil.
2.Cook potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
3.Heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a large pan and saute the garlic, onions and kale until tender, about 3-5 minutes, and set aside.
4.Drain potatoes and return to pot. Mash with a potato masher, then add the milk gradually, mixing to incorporate. Do not overmash or you'll get gummy, flat potatoes.
5.Stir in goat cheese and kale, add salt to taste and serve. Can be made a day ahead of time and reheated in a pot over low heat or in the oven.
