Ingredients
½ cup
Butter, divided
(113 g)
1 cup
thinly sliced Onion (about 1 medium)
(160 g)
2 tsp
minced Garlic (about 1 large clove)
(3 g)
5 cups
chopped Kale or Cabbage (about 1 bunch)
(80 g)
Melt ¼ cup butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, 7–10 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1–2 minutes, then add kale or cabbage. Mix to coat with the butter and onions then cover, reduce heat to medium low, and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile turn on broiler to preheat and set aside a 1-quart oven-safe baking dish.
In a medium saucepan, heat water to boiling then add 2 tablespoons butter and salt. Remove from heat and add cold milk. Add potato flakes and stir gently. Fluff with a fork; do not whip. Let sit 2–3 minutes then fluff once more with a fork.
Fold kale or cabbage mixture into the potatoes then transfer into a 1-quart oven-safe baking dish. Divide the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small pieces and dot them over the top of the potatoes. Broil until the top begins to brown, 3–5 minutes. Serve hot.
