Mash the potatoes until smooth.

Fry the bacon until crisp then drain on paper towels.  Once the bacon is cool break it up into 3/4" size pieces.

Combine the green onions with the milk or cream then add the salt and pepper.  Bring the mixture to a boil then add the chopped kale and half of the butter.

Add the milk mixture to the pan with the potatoes and beat them until smooth.

Garnish the potatoes with the bacon, parsley and the rest of the butter.  Serve hot.
