Safety Tips & Important Notes

Follow these for best results and safety.

  1. For extra crispy potatoes, make sure they're completely dry before tossing with oil and don't overcrowd the pan.
  2. The shallot-garlic mixture must cool slightly before adding to the mayo sauce to prevent it from separating.
  3. If kale seems too dry when adding to the pan, lightly spray or drizzle with a touch more olive oil.
  4. Taste the sauce before serving and adjust seasoning with more lemon juice, salt, or pepper as desired.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Toss the potato chunks with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. Spread potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't overlap for maximum crispiness.

  4. Roast potatoes for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.

  5. While potatoes roast, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  6. Add the minced shallots and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and translucent, stirring occasionally.

  7. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant, being careful not to burn.

  8. Remove skillet from heat and let the shallot-garlic mixture cool slightly for 2 to 3 minutes.

  9. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, heavy cream, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

  10. Stir the cooled shallot-garlic mixture into the mayo cream sauce until well combined.

  11. When potatoes have 5 minutes left, add the kale to the baking sheet, tossing it with the potatoes.

  12. Return to oven and roast for final 5 minutes until kale is wilted and slightly crispy at the edges.

  13. Transfer the crispy potatoes and kale to a serving platter.

  14. Drizzle the mayo shallot garlic cream sauce over the top or serve it on the side.

  15. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Chef's notes

The cream sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator; bring to room temperature before serving.

Leftovers can be stored separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days, though potatoes will lose some crispiness.

This dish works well as a side for roasted chicken, grilled fish, or as a vegetarian main course with a fried egg on top.

For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise.
