Instructions
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Form the sausage into little balls. Brown the sausage in the frying pan, stirring frequently. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off some of the grease.
- Put everything except for the potatoes together in a large slow cooker. Cook on high for 3-4 hours. If you prefer your kale more crisp-tender, wait to add the kale with the potatoes.
- Add potatoes during the last 40-60 minutes of cooking.
- Stir well and serve with breadsticks and salad.

Notes
- Instead of breaking off small pieces of sausage and rolling them in your hands, simply cut the sausage using a knife in a crisscross pattern. The sausage will roll up into balls as you cook and stir it in the skillet. Break it up into more bite-size pieces with your spatula or spoon if needed.
- You can really use any kind of potato you want in this recipe. Russet potatoes work great, but you can also use a waxy potato like Yukon gold or red potato. You can leave the skins on, or you can peel them. Totally up to you.
- Prepackaged, pre-rinsed kale will make your life easier. You can also get kale from the produce department. Just make sure you rinse it really well.
