Mashed-Potato Cakes With Onions And Kale

• 12 cups water
• 1 bunch kale, trimmed (about 4 ounces)
• 2 2/3 cups (1-inch) cubed Yukon gold or red potato (about 1 pound)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine
• 3 cups diced onion
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Cooking spray
• Sage sprigs (optional)

1. Bring water to a boil in a Dutch oven; add kale. Cover and cook over medium heat 5 minutes or until tender. Remove kale with a slotted spoon, reserving cooking liquid. Chop kale and set aside.
2. Add potato to reserved cooking liquid in pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until tender. Drain; partially mash potatoes. Stir in kale and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
3. Preheat oven to 400u0b0.
4. Heat oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, diced onion, and chopped sage. Cook 13 minutes or until browned. Combine potato mixture, onion mixture, green onions, and pepper. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Divide potato mixture into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Place patties on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400u0b0 for 20 minutes.
5. Preheat broiler.
6. Broil patties for 5 minutes or until browned. Garnish with sage sprigs, if desired.
