Reproducing Provence

Recently reunited Provence Odyssey pals visited the Eau Claire Farmers' Market, 

raided the Abbott -Anderson West Hill Cooperative Garden 

for homegrown yukon gold potatoes,

and then worked together to create a marvelous meal featuring a deliciously creamy

 kale and potato dish based on a Chez Madelaine  recipe for Rapid Potato Gratin.

Subtract the Gruyere and add a bunch of kale that has been de-stemmed and de-veined, 

torn into smaller pieces, and quickly blanched, to alter the recipe as we did. 

Everyone, even a diner who has been known to regard seriously green food with suspicion, 

licked their plates clean.
