BORECOLE-DUTCH KALE AND POTATOES
A mixture of mashed potatoes and garden kale served with smoked sausage is a frequent meal on the Dutch table. After our inundation of kale and chard from our CSA-share, I was reminded of the fare from my time in Ermelo, Holland.

Steps:
- Wash the kale (Swiss chard can be substituted) thoroughly by submerging it in a tub of cool water. Spin in a salad spinner or let drip-dry in a colander. Roll the leaves together and slice into thin strips (chiffonade). Set aside while cooking the potatoes.
- Wash, peel and dice the potatoes. Fill a large pot with water and add the diced potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return to pot. While mashing the potatoes, add the butter, half and half, salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the sliced kale and cover.
- Heat the kielbasa in a bit of boiling water until the sausage is hot throughout, about 8 minutes. Brown gravy is often served over the mashed potatoes. Serve a section of the kielbasa and the mashed potatoes and enjoy!

SAUTEED POTATOES WITH KALE
This is a delicious sauteed kale recipe that I got from my mom and tweaked a bit. It tastes so good that even my 18-month-old son will eat it! Serve with extra olive oil and salt, if desired. We enjoy this recipe with plenty of salt and oil. I do not measure exactly. It's a recipe you can play around with!

Steps:
- Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender but still holding their shape, about 15 minutes. Drain.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until quite hot. Toss in pieces of kale; reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook, stirring often, until kale begins to soften and crisp slightly, about 5 minutes. Add onion; cook until softened and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic.
- Add remaining olive oil when onions are beginning to brown. Stir in potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until potatoes are completely softened, about 5 minutes. Remove lid; cook and stir until potatoes just begin to brown, about 10 minutes more.

SAUTéED POTATOES WITH BLACK KALE AND NIGELLA
One of the reasons we love latkes so much is because the browned crispy edges of potatoes are so delicious. Even when they are just browned and not particularly crispy, as they are here, they are irresistible. It helps to use a heavy nonstick pan for these so that you can cook the potatoes long enough and on high enough heat to get the browned edges, without losing those edges to the surface of the pan, where they will undoubtedly stick once they have absorbed the oil. I have been using a potato called simply "yellow potatoes" for this; they are slightly starchy, just a little less so than a Yukon gold or a fingerling, both of which will work just as well. Blanch the kale before you cook the potatoes, cut it into slivers, and add to the potatoes once they are tender. I season the mix with nigella seeds, one of my favorite spices; you can also add something with a kick, like cayenne or chile powder, if you want to pump up the heat.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you clean kale. When water comes to a boil, salt generously and add kale. Blanch 2 to 3 minutes, until just tender. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, drain and squeeze out excess water, taking it up by the handful. Cut squeezed bunches of kale into slivers and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over high heat in a heavy, preferably nonstick, 12-inch skillet and add potatoes. Turn heat down to medium-high and sear without stirring for 5 minutes, then shake and toss in pan for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until just tender and lightly browned. Add salt and continue to toss in pan for another minute or two, until tender. Add remaining teaspoon oil, shallots and nigella seeds and cook, stirring until shallots are tender and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in kale and additional salt if desired and cook, stirring or tossing in the pan for another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, taste and adjust seasonings, and serve.

- Choose the right type of kale: Borecole, also known as Dutch kale, is the traditional type of kale used in this recipe. However, you can also use other types of kale, such as curly kale or lacinato kale.
