Irish colcannon is a traditional comfort food, usually made by mashing together hearty potatoes and cabbage. This dairy-free vegan version swaps out the cabbage for a more vibrant green color with kale. A simple, easy, one-pot dish that works great as a base for a hearty Irish stew. This is healthy comfort food at its finest.

Instructions
To cook the potatoes: Place the potato pieces in a large pot and cover with water. Cover, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
While the potatoes simmer, strip the kale from the stems. Discard the stems. Roughly chop the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces.
After the potatoes have simmered for 10 minutes, add the kale on top. Cover and cook another 2 minutes, to steam the kale.
To make the Vegan Irish Potato Kale Colcannon: When the potatoes and kale are done, drain them. Immediately return them back to the same hot pot and let any excess water steam off.
Add the remaining ingredients: Almond milk, salt, and pepper. Use a potato masher and mash away until creamy!
