Curried Scalloped Potato with Kale
I could say this dish is pretty-tasty, but its actually very ugly-delicious, and although
Isn’t very photogenic, its a “go back for more” dish, for sure.
It started with a worthy recipe on the internet, but I made it 3 times in short order and tweaked it to perfection—I had lots of kale to use & lots of people to feed.
Its exceptionally tasty with sweet potatoes, but good with just regular potatoes too.
