  1. Put the potatoes in a large pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil.

  4. Lay the smoked sausages on top of the kale for the last 10 minutes to heat through.

  6. Drain the pan thoroughly and let it steam dry for 2 minutes.

  7. Add the butter, warm milk, salt, white pepper and nutmeg.

  8. Mash coarsely with a hand masher — leave texture, do not purée.
