- 2 onions, chopped
- 5 garlic cloves
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 13 cup olive oil
- 14 teaspoon pepper

- 6 cups potatoes, diced with skins on, more nutrition, richer flavor, less work

- Grate carrots, chop onion and garlic.
- Saute the onions, garlic, and carrots until soft.
- Add the kale all at once and stir often over high heat until well wilted.
