Instrucciones

Gather the ingredients.

Put 3 large (about 2 pounds) Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and quartered) into a large (4-quart) saucepan or pot. Add 2 teaspoons fine salt and enough cold water to cover the potatoes by about 2 inches.

Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the largest potatoes are tender (they will yield easily when pierced with a fork and break apart), about 12 minutes. Drain in a colander set in the sink while you prepare the greens. Set the saucepan aside, you will use it again.

Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 3 cups coarsely chopped kale , w hite parts of the green onions , and 1 dried or fresh bay leaf and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is tender, about 5 minutes.

Add 1 1/4 cups milk and 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder . Once the milk simmers, reduce the heat to low to keep warm.

Return the drained potatoes to the reserved saucepan. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons unsalted butter , and the green parts of the green onions. Mash with a potato masher until nearly smooth.

Add the kale-milk mixture to the saucepan, discarding the bay leaf. Stir to combine. The mixture will look a bit too liquid at first, but will thicken as the potato starch absorbs the moisture. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and serve.
