Stamppot with Kale

Step 1

Peel and chop the 2 lb potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Place in a large pot and cover with cold water, add 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.

Step 2

While potatoes cook, remove tough stems from the 1 lb kale and chop leaves coarsely. Rinse well and set aside.

Step 3

When potatoes are tender, drain and return to the pot. Add the 2 tbsp butter and 0.5 cup milk, then mash until smooth.

Step 4

Stir the chopped kale into the mashed potatoes. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until kale is wilted and bright green, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Season with 0.5 tsp black pepper and more salt if needed. Keep warm over low heat.

Step 6

Slice the 1 lb smoked sausage into rounds. In a skillet over medium heat, cook until browned and heated through, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Serve the stamppot topped with the sausage slices. Add a pat of butter or a fried egg if you like.
