Kale & Potato Hash

FLKeysJen's Note:

From Eating Well magazine, this can be served as a side dish with a steak or pork chops or set a poached egg on top for a hearty breakfast or brunch. A 1- to 1 1/2-pound bunch of kale yields 16 to 24 cups of chopped leaves.When preparing kale for this hash, remove the tough ribs, chop or tear the kale as directed, then wash it--allowing some water to cling to the leaves. The moisture helps steam the kale during the first stages of cooking. Fresh, partially cooked, shredded potatoes for hash browns can be found in the refrigerated produce section and sometimes in the dairy section of most supermarkets. Alternatively, boil potatoes until they can just be pierced with a fork but are not completely tender. Let cool slightly, then shred.

Great recipe - although I had to make some modifications due to what I had on hand. I used sweet potato instead of regular, used a small red onion instead of shallot, and instead of horseradish I just chopped up some garlic. I tried microwaving the 2 sweet potatoes for 3 min. instead of boiling, but it made them a little too soft to easily grate, so I ended up cutting them into pieces. Would microwave less time to be able to grate. I put two poached eggs over it - delicious brunch!

We loved this recipe. I don't micro wave so I boiled the fresh chopped kale until quite soft ( apprx. 15 minutes) let it cool, squeezed all the moisture out and the chopped it even finer. Used a can of sliced potatoes, cut them into coarse shreds and followed the recipe. Served with a lovely stew
