Recipe: Red Potatoes with Kale (using sesame oil and soy sauce)

RED POTATOES WITH KALE

When plain potatoes are on the menu, get spicy flavor, nutrition and color by adding kale to the plate. Red Potatoes with Kale uses an Oriental-inspired sauce and seasoning to make an exciting side dish.

4 medium red potatoes
1 bunch kale
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. paprika
5 tsp. soy sauce

Scrub the potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch cubes or wedges. Steam them over boiling water until they are just tender when pierced with a fork. Rinse with cold water, drain and set aside.

Rinse the kale and remove the tough stems. Tear the leaves into small pieces; set aside.

Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet and add the onion and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes.

Add the cooked potatoes, pepper and paprika and continue cooking until the potatoes begin to brown, about 5 minutes.

Turn the mixture gently as it cooks. Spread the kale leaves over the top of the potato mixture. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of water and the soy sauce. Cover and cook, turning occasionally, until the kale is tender, about 7 minutes.
