Kale And Potato Gratin

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350u00b0 F.

2. 2

   Place a pot of water large enough to accommodate the potatoes over high heat and bring to a boil. Prepare an ice bath.

3. 3

   Slice the potatoes 1/4-inch thick. Remove and discard the ribs from the kale, then chop the remaining leaves in 1/2-inch-thick ribbons by stacking the leaves and slicing cross-wise. This doesn't need to be exact - as long as you end up with a pile of roughly 1/2-inch-thick shreds of kale.

4. 4

   When the water is boiling, add 1 teaspoon of salt and gently lower in the potatoes. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until tender, but not totally cooked through. Drain and plunge into the ice bath. Drain again, then place on a dish towel and blot.

5. 5

   In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, remaining 2 teaspoons salt and pepper. Add the kale and rub the olive oil mixture aggressively into the leaves.

6. 6

   In a 9-inch square casserole dish or pie plate, place the kale, half the cheese, then the potatoes, the bread crumbs and the remaining cheese.

7. 7

   Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, pour the milk over evenly and bake another 15 minutes, until the top is crispy.
