YUKON GOLD COLCANNON WITH SAUTEED KALE AND CABBAGE AND BACON BUTTER
Steps:
- For the colcannon: Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water by 2 inches and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well, then return to the pan.
- While the potatoes are cooking, combine the butter and milk in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Add to the potatoes and mash until smooth, adding more milk as needed. Season well with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
- Place a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until rendered and crisp, about 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside for the bacon butter. Remove 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the pan; reserve this separately for the bacon butter.
- Add a tablespoon or two of canola oil to the pan, depending on how much bacon fat remains. Heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Add the garlic, mustard seeds if using, and chile flakes; cook for 1 minute. Increase the heat to high, add the kale and cabbage, in batches if needed, a splash of water and some salt and pepper. Cook until the greens begin to wilt, tossing constantly at first, about 5 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes longer. Add the sugar and vinegar; cook for another 2 minutes.
- For the bacon butter: While the greens are cooking, combine the butter, reserved bacon fat, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Fold in the reserved bacon and the green onions. (See Cook's Note.)
- Finish the colcannon: Combine the mashed potatoes and the sauteed greens in a bowl. Transfer to a casserole dish and top with a few dollops of bacon butter. Place in a warm oven (200 degrees F) until the butter begins to melt, about 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Slice the Leeks.
- If you have bought kurly kale that isn't trimmed, trim it now, disposing of any woody stalks.
- Chop the bacon if necessary. With buying the mis shapes packs of bacon, sometimes it does need to be chopped, other times it is already in small enough pieces.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan and another tbsp in a large saucepan (large enough to hold all that kale).
- Cook the bacon in the frying pan until done to your liking, some people like it crisped, some prefer it just cooked enough.
- Cook the leeks in the saucepan, over a low heat, so that they soften rather than brown.
- About 4 or 5 minutes before you think the bacon is done, put 3/4 of the kale into the saucepan with the leeks, stir and pop a lid on until the bacon is finished.
- When the bacon is done, tip it into the saucepan with the leeks and kale and add the rest of the kale. Stir to mix, the heat will be enough enough to wilt that last addition of kale.
- The bacon usually provides enough saltiness and the kale enough pepperiness, but taste and season if you think it is necessary.
- You could use any other dark green leafy vegetable depending on what is on offer. Spinach, Spring greens, green cabbage, anything like that. And you could substitute onions for the leeks if you wished.

KALE AND BACON HASH BROWN CASSEROLE
With bacon, eggs and hash browns in the baking dish, this sounds like breakfast - but it works just as well as lunch or dinner. This recipe from Joanna Gaines, the reigning queen of Southern home design, is a good example of how she works: Texas tradition but with some modern touches. You can use other kinds of frozen potatoes, like waffle fries, or add par-boiled fresh potatoes to the skillet with the kale and garlic.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the butter.

- Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease from the pan. Heat the skillet over medium, add the onion, and sauté until soft and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the kale and garlic and sauté until the garlic is tender and fragrant, another minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped bacon.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and mustard. Add 1/2 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup Gruyère, the hash browns, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; stir to combine.
- Stir the kale mixture into the eggs, then pour into the buttered dish. Top evenly with the remaining mozzarella and Gruyère. Cover with foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake, uncovered, until the top is lightly browned and bubbly, another 15 minutes. Serve hot. (Cooled casserole will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.)
