Steps
- 1

In a large pot, boil the potatoes and bay leaves in salted water for 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaves.

If not using a bag of ready-cut curly kale, wash the kale thoroughly under cool running water to remove soil. Trim coarse stems and discard brown leaves. Cut the curly kale into thin strips.

In a frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the shallots for a few minutes before adding the curly kale and 2 tablespoons of water. Season and cook about 10 minutes, or until tender.
- 6
Warm the milk on the stove or in the microwave.

Drain, shake and dry the potatoes, then mash with a potato masher or ricer. Working quickly, add the warm milk and the remaining butter. Season to taste with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
