Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-

hodgepodge comes from the old Dutch huitspot

I have read similar things and it sounds logical. There's also the
old French word hochepot and low German term huttspott.

Title: Kale Hotchpotch W/Sausage & Bacon - Boerenkool Met Worst En Spek Categories: Dutch, Sausage, Bacon, Dairy
Servings: 4

1 kg kale
2 kg potatoes
1 smoked sausage
250 g Canadian bacon or cured side
pork
75 g butter
100 ml milk
salt and pepper

Strip the kale from the stalks and finely chop and use only the
dark-green leafs. Peel, wash and halve the potatoes. Boil the
potatoes until tender. Meanwhile, pour about 2 inches of water in a
second pan, add some salt and bring to a boil. Add the kale, turn
down the heat and and let it simmer and shrink. Put the smoked
sausage and the bacon or pork on top of the kale. If preferred, the
pork can be braised or baked beforehand.

When both the kale and potatoes are done, drain the vegetables. Add
the butter and milk to the potatoes and mash them. Mix in the kale
and add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
