- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup sour cream

This recipe was a hit the first time with my kids as well as my husband. Now I'd like my extended family to enjoy it for Thanksgiving.
I thought the kale was a strange ingredient, however it gave such an nice texture and interesting flavor to the simple mashed potatoes.

I am so bored with plain mashed potatoes. But this recipes was really terrific & my whole family loved it. I made it with red onions instead of green (didn't have any and curly kale (on sale. I do not normally like kale - it is too bitter. But this is a great way to fix it.
