Directions

Heat the oil in a wide skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallot, sprinkle with salt and cook until they start to soften. Add the potatoes, cut sides down to start with. Saute until the potatoes are golden, and the shallots have started to caramelize, about 10 minutes.
Push the potatoes and shallots to one side of the pan and add the kale in handfuls adding more as each batch wilts. Do not crowd the pan or the kale will stay soft. When all the kale has been added, mix the kale, shallots and potatoes together. Sprinkle with a little salt and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the lemon juice. Cook stirring until all the liquid has gone. Add the parsley and chives, if using, and cook 1 minute more or until they have wilted. Taste for salt and serve immediately.

Chef Tips

To de-stem kale: cut down each side of the hard stem with a sharp knife, and use the tender parts of the leaves only.

Use chopped scallions instead of garlic chives, and baby Yukon Gold potatoes if fingerlings are not available.

And lastly, if you have any leftover steamed potatoes from previous meals, this is is a great way to use them up.
