Ingredients
-
2
russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
-
About 4
tablespoons good quality extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more as needed
-
2
small yellow onions, chopped
-
2
cloves garlic, finely chopped
-
1 1/2
teaspoons dried oregano
-
1/2
teaspoon dried red chile flakes
-
1
pound cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
-
1
bunch kale leaves, stems removed, leaves chopped
-
1
pinch Salt to taste
-
1
pinch Freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions
- Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil then simmer until cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain well.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until softened and browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, oregano, and chile flakes, cooking an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add additional olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Bring to high heat. Add the potatoes. Let cook for a few minutes, stirring infrequently, so the potatoes can brown (it is okay if they mash).
- Add the mushrooms, and continue to cook until they start to brown, adding additional olive oil as needed.
- Add the kale and cover with a lid, letting cook for a few additional minutes until wilted.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm.
