If you’re cooking for someone who thinks vegetables (especially green ones) are pure evil, try this recipe. The starch from the potatoes acts as a kind of sauce for the chard, and a hint of garlic and oil ties all the ingredients together. But heed our warning: don’t skimp on salt. Salt brighten up potatoes just like the perfect pair of shoes turns an ordinary black dress into something magical.
