Ingredients
- 1 large potato, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp lard
- 50 g baby kale
- 1 in-slice kassler (see Note)
- 4–5 boiled baby carrots, to serve
- mustard, to serve
Instructions
Boil the potato in a saucepan until just tender.
Meanwhile, melt half of the lard in a large, heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the kale and sauté to soften.
In a separate pan over high heat, melt the remaining lard and add the kassler. The kassler is already cooked; you just want to create a golden crust and warm it through.
When the potato is cooked, drain and add to kale. Crush potato and turn up heat to create a crust.
Pour any excess kassler fat over potatoes and kale.
Serve potatoes and kassler with boiled baby carrots and a generous spoon of mustard.
Note
• Good kassler is available from some butchers. At a pinch you can substitute a fat-cut piece of loin bacon from a quality pig.
