Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. To prep the collards: Run each leaf under cold running water to clean. Slice the rib from the center of each leaf and chop the leaves into small pieces. Discard ribs. Add chopped leaves to a large bowl and cover with water; add a splash of vinegar. Let sit for 15 minutes.

  2. Heat a large heavy pot (such as a Dutch oven) over medium heat and add the oil.

  3. Add the onions to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 4–5 minutes.

  4. Add drained collards and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 3–4 minutes.

  5. Add potatoes, oregano, tomatoes, and water. Cook on low heat, slightly covered, for 20–30 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender.

  6. Stir in white beans. Garnish with crushed red pepper if desired.

I haven't tried this recipe. The directions are not clear and very confusing.
