Ingredients

  • 2 lb potatoes
  • 1 lb kale
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 lb smoked sausage

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 2

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

  3. 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.

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

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