Equipment
- large pot
- Skillet
Ingredients
Potatoes and Vegetables
- 3 lbs potatoes, chopped into 1 inch cubes
- 2 pieces bay leaves
- 2 tablespoon butter or oil
- 1 bunch kale (about 12oz), cut into ½ inch strips
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 pieces shallots, chopped
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 1.5 cup milk, warmed
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste

For Garnish

Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Add potatoes to a large pot, fill with cold water till potatoes are covered, and bay leaves and generously salt water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are soft, then drain off water and remove bay leaves.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and garlic and cook for a minute or two. Add the kale along with ¼ cup of water and steam until the kale is tender. Keep an eye on it, the water will dry out and need to be replenished before the kale gets soft.
- Mash the potatoes along with butter, milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Once smooth, stir in kale mixture.
- Cook the sausage according to your preferred method. We simply sautéed it in the same pan as the kale (after the kale had been removed).
- Serve a generous heap of the stamppot, top with sliced sausage, and give each serving a nice drizzle of olive oil (about 1 tablespoon).
