Ingredients

• 1000 grams Potatoes
• 500 grams Kale
• 400 grams Smoked sausage (rookworst or preferred type)
• 50 grams Butter
• 100 milliliters Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
• 2 liters Water (for boiling)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure they cook uniformly.

Step 2

Rinse the kale thoroughly and chop it into small pieces, removing any tough stems.

Step 3

In a large pot, bring 2 liters of water and 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the potato chunks to the boiling water. Let them cook for 10 minutes.

Step 5

After the potatoes have cooked for 10 minutes, layer the chopped kale on top of the potatoes in the same pot. Cover the pot with a lid and let them cook together for another 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 6

While the potatoes and kale cook, heat the smoked sausage in a separate pot according to package instructions (typically boiling or steaming for 10 minutes). Alternatively, roast or pan-fry it for extra flavor.

Step 7

Once the potatoes and kale are cooked, drain the water from the pot thoroughly. Return the potatoes and kale to the same pot.

Step 8

Add butter and warm milk to the pot with the potatoes and kale. Mash the mixture together using a potato masher or hand mixer until creamy and well combined.

Step 9

Season the mash with black pepper, and if desired, a pinch of nutmeg for added flavor. Stir well to incorporate.

Step 10

Slice the smoked sausage into serving portions and arrange it on top of the mashed kale and potatoes.

Step 11

Serve the dish hot, optionally with a drizzle of gravy or mustard on the side for extra richness.
