Cold Weather Craving Mash and Greens

Yesterday it was 40 degrees out in the morning. I wore my hat and scarf and gloves when walking my dogs. By the afternoon I was craving mashed potatoes.

Russet potatoes cubed with skin on (4 minutes) in the instant pot with tiny amount of water. Mash with potato masher and add a drizzle of heavy whipping cream and then salt to taste. Sprinkle on fresh scallions.

Rinse kale in a tub of cold water and then use scissors or a knife to chop it into 2 or 3 inch pieces. Steam it in the instant pot for 4 minutes. Add olive oil and Adobo seasning.

Enjoy together. Scoop potatoes with ice-cream scoop!  

Years ago my friend Susan and I imagined  being street vendors of savory food selling scoops of mashed potatoes in a cone in place of ice cream.
