Kale and Potato Gratin
1 pound potatoes, sliced 1/4” thick
1 bunch kale
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350°. Get a pot of water boiling large enough to accommodate the potatoes. Also prepare an ice bath. Remove and discard the spines from the kale then chop the remaining leaves in 1/2″-thick ribbons by stacking the leaves and slicing in the direction of the veins. When the water is boiling, add a dash of salt and gently drop in the potatoes, cooking for about 2-3 min, until tender, but not cooked through. Drain and plunge into the ice bath. Drain again and dump onto a dish towel and blot. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the kale and rub the olive oil mixture aggressively into the leaves. Layer the kale and potatoes alternately with a sprinkling of bread crumbs and Parmesan in a 9″x12″ rectangular casserole or glass or ceramic baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 min. Remove foil and bake another 15 min, until top is crispy. From www.thekitchn.com.
