Ingredients

  • 2 lbs floury potatoes
  • 1 lb escarole
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: Crispy bacon bits and gravy for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into equal pieces. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the potatoes, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and let them steam dry for a minute.
  2. Mash the Potatoes: Add butter, milk, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.
  3. Prepare the Escarole: Remove the core and any wilted leaves. Finely chop and rinse well. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the escarole, and cook for 5-8 minutes. Drain immediately to retain some crunch.
  4. Combine: Mix the cooked escarole into the mashed potatoes until evenly distributed. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Serve: Serve warm, optionally with crispy bacon bits and a well of gravy.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of milk to refresh the texture.
