This is your nan’s potato bake for a new age. Because, kale. And fancy cheese. No matter how you spin it, this side dish is the ultimate wingman. Whether it’s for braised meats or some crisp and bitter greens, it’s a truly great culinary friend to have on hand.

Note: If your slow cooker doesn’t have a sauté function, simply prepare these few elements in a frying pan on the stove and thoroughly scrape them into the bowl of your slow cooker.
