Equipment

  • cooking pan
  • frying pan
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Spatula
  • potato masher (or fork)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head kale
  • 1-1.5 kg potatoes
  • 150-200 grams smoked bacon
  • 25 grams butter
  • 1 splash (oat) milk
  • 1 (Dutch smoked) sausage
  • salt to taste (I used about 3 pinches, potatoes can take a lot of salt)

Instructions
 

  • Cut up the potatoes in pieces of about 1-2 cm thick. Leave the skin on if you like. I always do, because there are good nutrients in the skins
  • Cook potatoes in water until soft. (When using the Dutch smoked sausage, cook it in the potato water as well and remove before "stamping" or mashing)
  • Meanwhile, cut up your smoked bacon into bits and bake them in a frying pan without any oil. The fat from the bacon will render so you won't need any oil
  • When the bacon is crispy, take it out of the pan and set aside, leaving the fat in the pan
  • Remove the stems from the kale leaves (save those stems to put into a smoothie or stew), cut the leaves into small pieces and add them to the hot bacon fat
  • Be careful! As the water in the kale leaves makes them splash and splutter all over
  • Fry until the leaves have wilted down. Drain the potatoes and remove the Dutch smoked sausage, if you are using that.
  • Put the pot of potatoes on the kitchen bench and add in the kale, together with all the bacon fat, the butter and a splash of (oat)milk and start "stamping" or mashing everything together until a coarse potato mash forms. Taste and see if it needs salt, if so, add to taste and stir together
  • Put on a plate, sprinkle the crispy bacon bits on top and add some sliced (Dutch smoked) sausage
  • I like to eat this with a dollop of mustard on the side. Enjoy!
