Time 1h45m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 ounces salt pork, cut into 1-inch strips
5 bunches collard greens, rinsed, stems removed and coarsely chopped (16 cups packed)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
10 medium-sized whole red potatoes, peeled
Cider vinegar to taste

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat the salt pork on medium-high heat until most of the fat is rendered and it is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Return the pot to medium heat, add greens, 6 cups of water, sugar, salt and baking soda. Simmer covered for 45 minutes.
  • Place the potatoes on top of the greens, cover and continue to simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes. Discard the salt pork. Sprinkle the potatoes and greens with cider vinegar to taste. Transfer to a platter and serve with a few spoonfuls of the broth.
