Colcannon Mashed Potato Quesadilla with Sour Cream

Featured Products: Nancy’s Organic Sour Cream and Nancy’s Organic Unsalted Butter

 

Ingredients

  • 4 russet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1-2 inch pieces
  • 5-6 Tbsp. Nancy’s Organic Unsalted butter
  • 3 cups chopped kale, lightly packed
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 pack large flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese of choice
  • ½ cup Nancy’s Organic Sour Cream
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  1. Add the peeled & chopped potatoes to a large pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil.
  2. Cook for 12–15 minutes, until fork-tender, and drain.
  3. Return potatoes to the hot pot. Add the butter and mash until mostly smooth.
  4. Slowly pour in the milk while mashing until creamy but not loose—you want it thick enough to spread.
  5. Stir in the chopped kale while the potatoes are still hot (the residual heat will gently wilt it).
  6. Season generously with salt to taste. Set aside.
  7. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lay a tortilla flat in the pan.
  8. Spread a generous layer of the colcannon mash over half the tortilla, sprinkle with your shredded cheese of choice, and cover with another tortilla.
  9. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  10. Serve with Nancy’s Organic Sour Cream.
