Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook the potatoes and parsnips in water until tender.
Step 2
While these are cooking, chop leeks (greens as well as whites) and simmer in the milk until soft.
Step 3
Next, cook the kale and have warm and well chopped.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes, season with nutmeg, garlic, salt and pepper, and beat well.
Step 5
Add the cooked leeks and milk (be careful not to break down the leeks too much).
Step 6
Finally, blend in the kale and butter.
Step 7
The texture should be that of a smooth-buttery potato with well distributed pieces of leek and kale.
Step 8
Garnish with parsley.
