Ingredients
Roasted Vegetables
- 2 large Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into small chunky pieces
- ½ medium-sized cauliflower, florets diced into small pieces
- ½ cup Blarney Castle cheese, finely grated (divided into ¼ cup portions)
- 4 tbsp. olive oil (divided)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Sautéed Greens
- ½ standard bunch of kale (about 1½ cups chopped, not packed)
- 2 medium shallots, peeled and thinly sliced into rings
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (215°C). Dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into small, chunky pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ¼ cup of grated Blarney Castle cheese, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly coat the potatoes.
- Arrange Potatoes on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with foil to help crisp the vegetables. Evenly spread the potatoes on one half of the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring the pieces do not overlap so they roast properly and get crispy.
- Prepare Cauliflower: Dice the cauliflower florets into small pieces. Add them to the same mixing bowl, then add ¼ cup grated Blarney Castle cheese and season with salt and pepper. Mix well to coat the cauliflower evenly.
- Arrange Cauliflower and Roast: Spread the cauliflower next to the potatoes on the baking sheet, also in a single, non-overlapping layer. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, until both the potatoes and cauliflower are nicely browned and crispy on the edges.
- Chop Kale and Slice Shallots: While the vegetables roast, chop the kale into small pieces to yield about 1½ cups (not packed). Peel and thinly slice the shallots into rings.
- Sauté Shallots and Kale: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until lightly browned and fragrant, about 5-6 minutes. Add the chopped kale to the pan and cook until wilted and tender, about 7-8 minutes more, stirring occasionally.
- Combine and Serve: Once the roasted potatoes and cauliflower are finished, transfer them to a serving bowl. Add the sautéed shallots and kale, gently mix everything together to combine, and serve warm.
Notes
- The foil under the vegetables is key to achieving a crispy bottom side when roasting.
- You can substitute Blarney Castle cheese with any semi-hard cheese like cheddar or gouda if unavailable.
- This hash pairs well with eggs for breakfast or as a side dish for grilled meats.
- For extra flavor, add minced garlic when sautéing the shallots.
- To save time, prepare the kale and shallots while the vegetables are roasting.
