That’s nice roughage
The kale kick continues…
Fingerling Potatoes with Wilted Kale
- 1 1/2 pounds fingerling or other small potatoes
- 5-7 cups kale, torn or chopped into bite sized bits
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp caraway seeds
- 1/2 tsp paprika
Cook potatoes in boiling water until fork tender, about 10-15 minutes depending on the size. Drain. Once cool enough to handle slice in half lengthwise. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Saute garlic until fragrant and tender, about a minute. Add mustard and caraway seeds. Cook for about a minute longer. Stir in paprika then add potatoes, tossing to coat. Add kale and allow to wilt, stirring often. This should take about five minutes. Serve warm.
I have a big envy for those of you who have access to kale…great combo !
Hellooooo Thursday night din-din!
This sounds wonderful – love the kale.
I served sauteed kale with my New Year’s day roasted duck … If I hadn’t had rice to go with it, these potato-kale combo would have rocked.
This is a lovely dish and the combination sounds yummy. Great photos too.
I would not have thought to combine these spuds with kale. Sounds great. though. Thanks for the idea. How about a touch of bacon?
Don’t ask a question you know the answer to John!:) (The answer is yes of course.)
Great combo!
Very nice use of kale. I’m not much of a caraway fan but I’m sure this would be lovely even without it.
I’m firmly on the kale everything train and this looks absolutely lovely, bright, and colorful.
I like the addition of the mustard and caraway seeds…sounds great.
Mustard seeds – what a great idea! Sort of an “uptown bubble and squeek”… Hungry *NOW*! Mmmmmm! Happy New Year!
Mmmm I’m on a kale kick as well. Sounds awesome with the potatoes!
Gorgeous – I must get some caraway sedes, such a great flavour!
A kale kick is always a good thing. And with fingerlings…how can you go wrong?
I just found kale for 2 big bunches for $0.99 at my local bodega and am so excited to use lots and lots. I’ll probably make this tonight! Thanks for sharing.
YUM. This looks amazing. I love everything about this combination!
The kale looks delicious, especially since it’s not completely raw. That does not please me…blech. Raw kale. =(
Hi Greg! This is a great idea, very simple, just the way I like
And, yes John, bacon sounds a clever addition 
Healthy, delicious side. Not to mention gorgeous with the fingerling potatoes and kale! Both of which I have been getting a lot from my local CSA.
What a great dish for a winter’s night! That bitter kick of kale, that creamy bite of potato, what a pair.
This looks terrific – simple and a nice mix of colours and textures.
I’m all for you kale kick. This one is my favorite so far though.
Funny, I was just talking to my mom this morning about kale recipes, and this one sounds fantastic! (I’ve just e-mailed the link to Mom.)
Cool, we’ve really been digging kale lately! Thanks for stopping by.
So simple but looks delicious!
