The method

- 3
Add the kale on top of the simmering potatoes. Place the smoked sausage on top of the kale.

- 4
Cover the pot and continue to simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
About 20 min
Cook’s note: Check potato tenderness with a fork.
- 5
Carefully remove the smoked sausage from the pot and set aside to keep warm.

Drain the potatoes and kale thoroughly, leaving them in the pot.
Cook’s note: Ensure all excess water is removed for a good texture.
- 7
Add the warm milk, butter, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes and kale.
- 8
Mash the mixture vigorously with a potato masher until well combined and creamy, but still with some texture from the kale.

Slice the smoked sausage into thick rounds.
