Meanwhile, prepare the greens and sausage. Stack the leaves, about 6 or 8 to a stack, roll them up tightly, and slice crosswise thinly.

Mash the potatoes in their pan and stir in the sausage and greens. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the greens turn bright green and tender. Season to taste. Stir in the remaining olive oil to serve."}
