Colcannon

After seeing this recipe on Simply Recipes (one of my very favorite recipe sites!), it seemed like a great side dish for St. Patrick's Day.  Not really a holiday that we celebrate, but when a "St. Patrick's favorite" involves potatoes and kale, I'm in! :) 

Here's the slightly modified version I made tonight:
2 sweet potatoes (1.5 pounds), peeled and cut into large chunks
3 Tbsp unsalted butter (with more butter for serving)
4 cups of chopped kale, packed
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1/2 cup skim milk

This recipe was really, really good!  Next time I plan to add bit more kale though, maybe 1-2 cups more.
