After trying this, I don't think I'll ever make mashed potatoes without kale again. Tastes great, and you can never have too much leafy greens in your diet. I also added some chives to this, and used Greek yogurt instead of ricotta. Really, you can toss kale into any mashed potato recipe and it should work. Thanks for sharing :)

I planted kale in my garden last summer and was looking for ways to make it that my family would eat it with no problems. This recipe was a hit. I am back to make it a third time as I put some kale in the freezer and thought I would let you know that we like this real well. I used the ricotta and butter and added Parmesan cheese. Thanks for the great recipe.

We enjoyed this recipe. I like the crunchy texture of the kale in cantrast with the smooth, creamy texture of the mashed poatoes. I didn't add ricotta our sour cream to the mix, but I did add a bit of milk and then I baked it in the oven with some cheese on top. Thanks, I'll definitely try this with ricotta next time.

I used olive oil instead of butter and doubled the sour cream in this delicious concoction. You can get kale down ANYONE with this recipe, I promise.
