A vegan side so satisfying you could serve it on its own, as a separate course in a sit-down dinner, or as a quick, healthy lunch dish. Two kinds of potatoes—russets and a yellow-fleshed variety, such as German Butterball or Yukon Gold—give the mash superior color, texture, and flavor. Kale makes it substantial, and a topping of bright-tasting Spanish romesco sauce elevates it to the realm of memorable.
Instructions
-
1Cut both types of potatoes into 1-1/2-inch chunks. Add them to a saucepan with cold water to cover by 3 inches. Add the measured salt and garlic clove. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then adjust the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 5 minutes.

- 2Add the kale to the potatoes and continue cooking until the kale is tender and the potatoes are soft enough to mash, about 2 minutes.
-
3Ladle out a 1/2 cup of the cooking water and set it aside. Drain the potatoes and kale in a colander and transfer to a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved cooking water and the olive oil and mash to a chunky texture. If the mash seems too dry, add more cooking water—the texture should be moist but not watery.
