Add the kale to the potatoes. Simmer for another 4-5 mins till the potatoes are tender and the kale is just wilted. Drain the veg. Tip them back into the pan. Season well and mash till the potato is smooth. Cover with a lid to keep warm.

Add the mashed potatoes and kale. Turn the heat down to medium low. Cook for 15 mins till caramelised and browned. Scrape and stir every so often so you get crunchy bits. Cover when it’s cooked to keep warm.
