Potato and Kale Cakes with Rouille

These crispy potato and kale cakes with rouille offer a sophisticated vegetarian take on classic comfort food. By pan-frying mashed potatoes enriched with earthy kale and aromatic thyme, you achieve a wonderful contrast between the golden, crunchy exterior and the fluffy centre. The addition of nutmeg provides a subtle warmth that complements the greens perfectly, making this a satisfying dish for a midweek supper or a weekend brunch.

To elevate the flavours, the cakes are served with a homemade rouille—a silky, garlic-infused sauce with a hint of smoked paprika and cayenne pepper. This vibrant condiment adds a creamy, piquant finish to the savoury potato cakes. It is an excellent way to use up seasonal kale and store-cupboard staples, providing a nutritious and heart-healthy meal that the whole family will enjoy.
