1 large garlic clove, peeled and minced
6 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 quarts cold water
6 oz chorizo sausages, thinly sliced

1 tsp black pepper
1 bunch kale, cut into small pieces with corse stems removed

Directions:

Heat 3 Tbl. oil in large stock pot.
Add onions and garlic, saute for a few minutes. Add the potatoes and saute until they begin to brown.
Pour in the water. Cover and gently simmer over medium heat for 30-45 minutes, until potatoes are really soft.
While the potatoes are cooking, saute the chorizo in a pan over low heat for about 10 minutes.
Smash potatoes lightly with a hand masher. Add the chorizo, salt and pepper to the pot. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the kale and simmer for 30 minutes. If you like your kale really soft, simmer for 1 1/2 hours, uncovered. Add the remaining olive oil and serve.
