This greens and potatoes dish is made by the Sotho people.

 2 lbs spinach or swiss chard (or similar greens), cleaned and torn into pieces
 2 lbs potatoes, cleaned, peeled, cut into quarters and soaked in cold water
 2 cups chicken broth or chicken stock
1

Place the greens in the bottom of a large pot. Put the potatoes over the greens. Add a cup or two of chicken stock water sufficient to fill the pot to a depth of one inch. Bring to a boil.

2

Reduce heat and cover. Let cook for 30 minutes or until potatoes are steamed tender. Add water as necessary to prevent the pot from becoming completely dry. When the potatoes and greens are fully cooked, mash them together with a potato masher.
