Irish Mashed Potatoes

Irish mashed potatoes with cabbage are creamy and easy. Starchy potatoes, butter, milk, kale, leeks, and plenty of seasoning make this potato dish delicious.

I prefer to leave my potatoes chunky, but you can mash them until they are creamy. Add some green onions to the dish.
