Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 large yukon gold potatoes (thinly sliced)
  • 1 gala apple (cored, thinly sliced)
  • 2 cups (473 ml) kale (roughly 2 cups, de-stemmed)
  • a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp crushed dry sage
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 cups (237 ml) parmesan cheese (finely grated)
  • 2 cups (473 ml) low-fat 1% milk
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
  2. Butter or lightly oil a 10-inch baking dish or cast iron skillet.
  3. Thinly slice potatoes and apples. Chiffonade kale leaves.
  4. Create a layer of potatoes in the dish. Top with salt, pepper, half the parmesan cheese, a pinch of sage, and chili.
  5. Create a layer of apples, then kale, and a final layer of potatoes.
  6. Top with the remaining parmesan, salt, pepper, and spices.
  7. Pour milk over the top and add pieces of butter.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes, then drain off the remaining milk.
  9. Return to the oven and bake for another 30-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are soft.

Notes

  • For even cooking, ensure potato slices are uniformly thin. A mandoline slicer is helpful.
  • To prevent browning, submerge peeled and sliced potatoes in cold water until ready to layer.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
