4 medium potatoes, pared |
8 cups water |
1/4 cup olive oil or 1/4 cup vegetable oil |
salt and pepper |
1/2 lb smoked garlic sausage, cooked and sliced into 1/4 inch rounds |
Directions:
1. Wash the kale and cut off any stems.
2. Slice into thin shreds.
3. Put the potatoes, water, oil, salt and pepper in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
4. Lower the heat and cook slowly, covered, for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
5. Remove from the stove, and put the mixture through a sieve or puree it.
6. Return to the saucepan; add the strips of kale.
7. Continue to cook about 12 minutes longer, or until the kale is tender.
