Instructions
- Place sweet potato and yellow potato pieces in a large pot. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons salt and fill with water until potatoes are covered. Place pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 25 minutes. Drain potatoes and return to pot.
- Pour broth into a small pot over high heat. Bring just to a boil, and then remove from heat.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add leeks and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in kale and cook until softened, 3-4 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
- Add hot broth and remaining 2 tablespoons oil to potatoes. Mash with a potato masher until smooth. Stir in kale mixture, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, black pepper and nutmeg.
