  • russet potatoes
Boil quartered russets in salted water until perfectly tender.
Colcannon: potatoes and greens

Strip the kale from its stems; slice the white and light green of the leek and rinse; chop the green onions, saving some for garnish.
Blanch the kale and leek in boiling salted water on high; once back to a boil, cook 5 to 6 minutes; lift out with a strainer.

Puree the blanched greens and green onions with butter in a blender, pulsing and scraping down, until fairly fine.
