Halloween Kale

We were looking forward to making soup with our bunch of curly kale, but we didn't have the right kind of potatoes! If i made soup with russet potatoes all the chunks would disintegrate, and it was just wrong to buy more potatoes if we had a 4 lb sack on the floor. I did some research and decided to make Colcannon, an Irish dish served at Halloween. It's essentially mashed potatoes mixed with chopped kale or cabbage. I made up my own recipe, adding cubed fake ham and garlic. Instead of boiling the kale, i sauteed it until done. (I try to avoid boiling vegetables at all costs, with the exception of soup!) A little indent in the middle, filled with melted butter, was an excellent simple topping.

be and i both enjoyed the dish. It's a good one for cold days. I'm excited about pan frying patties of it tomorrow until crisp!
