2 medium potatoes, cut into large chunks
1 cup kale, stems removed and coarsely chopped
3 Tbsp. thinly sliced scallions

Salt and pepper, to taste

• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan, add water to cover, and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
• Peel the cooked potatoes and place them in a mixing bowl.
• In another medium saucepan, add an inch of water, insert a steamer basket, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the kale, cover, and steam for about 4 minutes, then remove and place in the mixing bowl with the potatoes.
•Heat the scallions and soy milk in a small skillet and simmer for 5 minutes. Add everything together and mash. Add the salt and pepper. Serve hot.

Makes 4 servings.

Saoirse, You could probably substitute the soy milk for most other types of non-dairy milk (rice, almond, etc) as long as they were the original flavor and not vanilla. For the irish butter substitute, try using earth balance non-dairy butter - it is amazing!

You can substitute almond milk, and there is vegan margarine called Earth Balance that is yummy. You can buy it at health food stores.

I'm more familiar with colcannon spuds done with cabbage, but kale sounds lovely, too. Any feedback as to how it tastes with soy milk? I'm not a big fan of the soy milk. And I grew up with a recipe that included Irish butter; what would be a good substitute to add that kind of creaminess or fat?
