Step by Step Method
Step 1
Remove and discard stems and discolored spots from collards; rinse with cold water. Drain and tear into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
Bring collards and water to cover to a boil in a large Dutch oven. Remove from heat; drain. Repeat procedure once. (I'm not sure why you would do this twice, but I think it's to remove bitterness?)
Step 3
Toss together ham and hot sauce. Cook ham in oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat for 8 - 10 minutes or until browned. Add onion and garlic, and saute until tender.
Step 4
Stir in collards, potato, and remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes. Makes 10 cups.
