Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, cooking them in their jackets to prevent excess water absorption.

Prepare the vegetables by chopping cabbage, green onions, and baby kale.

In a pan, melt a large knob of butter and add the chopped vegetables along with Celtic sea salt and black pepper, allowing them to simmer.

Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully peel them while they are still hot.

Mash the peeled potatoes using a vintage potato masher until smooth.

Add a couple of knobs of butter to the mashed potatoes and mix well.

Pour in milk from South Mountain Creamery and continue mashing until creamy, adjusting with more milk and butter if desired.
