🧂 Ingredients

• 3 Russet potatoes
• 3 cups cabbage or kale

  thinly sliced
• ½ cup whole milk

  warm
• 2 tbsp butter
• salt

  to taste
• pepper

  to taste
• 3 oz bacon

  (optional)

Instructions

• 1 Start by cooking the bacon on the stovetop. When bacon is cooked, place it on a
  layer of paper towels to absorb excess grease.
• 2 In a medium-sized pot place the potatoes, and add enough water to just cover
  them. Salt the water, generously.
• 3 On high heat, bring the pot to a boil. Then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for
  15-20 minutes. The potatoes should be tender when you poke them with a knife or
  fork.
• 4 While your potatoes are cooking, in a medium pot, bring your water to a boil and
  steam your cabbage. (See recipe notes for instructions on steaming)
• 5 When your potatoes are done, drain them and return them to your pot.
• 6 In a small saucepan on low heat, melt your butter.
• 7 With a potato masher or potato ricer, mash the potatoes to your desired
  consistency.
• 8 Slowly add your warm milk and melted butter.
• 9 If adding bacon, crumble the bacon and gently mix into your potatoes.
