Ingredients
Instructions

Ingredients  

  • 15 Swiss chard leaves
  • 15 chives or green onions
Potato Filling
  • 5 lbs potatoes We use a mix of Yukon gold and red-skinned potatoes
  • 4 Tbsp butter softened
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 5-8 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 Tbsp mustard
  • 1/4 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the over to 375.

Potato Filling

  • Place a large pot of heavily salted water ("as salty as the Mediterranean!" or about 1 tablespoon of salt).
  • Wash, chop, and add chopped potatoes to the pot of water as you're going. (Leave the peels on for extra texture!)
  • Once finished, boil the potatoes until tender. (About 10 minutes later, take one out to test--don't let them get mushy.)
  • Strain the potatoes and make sure they're completely dry with a towel. (You can put them back in their original pot and heat on very low for 10-15 minuted to get rid of all excess moisture and for better texture. I rarely have the time and skip this step!)
  • Put dried potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  • Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes.
  • While stirring in between, add in butter, minced garlic, milk, and mustard.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Shred the cheese and stir into the mashed potatoes.

Swiss Chard Rolls

  • Wash and dry the Swiss chard leaves.
  • On a cutting board, lay each leaf flat and cut out stems, cutting a V-shape into the bottom of the chard leaf to remove the thick areas of the stem for easier rolling.
  • Place a helping of the potato filling on the leaf above this cut, fold the sides in and roll from the bottom of the leaf up.
  • Once the roll is complete, tie off with a green onion or chive and place in a baking dish.
  • Put in the oven and bake for twenty minutes.
  • Remove from heat and enjoy!
