This is a childhood recipe that my grandmother used to make when I was a toddler. We used the cornbread to soak up all the juice from the collards, also known as “pot liqueur.” I still love collards mashed with cornbread, and now my children love it too. Boost the protein by adding diced chicken to the mash.
