Peel the potatoes and then cut them into evenly sized pieces. Put them into a saucepan, cover with cold water, season with salt and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Wash the kale in plenty of cold water, then boil in a little salted water for 7/8 minutes till tender. Refresh under cold water. Squeeze the kale until it is dry then chop roughly.
Drain the potatoes and return to the saucepan to dry out for a few minutes.
Mash the potatoes with a hand masher and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg to your tasting.
Add the chopped kale to the potatoes and reheat.
Add the egg yolks and mix thoroughly.
Dust a work surface with the flour and tip the potatoes onto the table. Knead gently and roll the potato into a thick sausage shape. Cut the potato into even sized discs and with the help of a spatula form the potato into patties.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium high heat, add the vegetable oil then add the patties. Leave to fry until edges start to turn golden brown then turn over till other side is browned.
Place onto warmed serving dish with a small piece of butter on each.
