In a saucepan, cover potatoes with water and bring to low boil. Simmer until fully cooked. Drain potatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pan fry chicken sausage rings until lightly browned. Then combine with prepared potatoes, gently mixing the two, then set aside.
Coarsely cut collard greens crosswise into two-inch thick strips. Gather strips, then cut crosswise into two-inch pieces. Transfer pieces to a large bowl of cold water, swish to remove grit. Transfer greens to a colander and drain. Repeat until greens are free of grit.
Heat oil in a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about four minutes. Then add greens; cook, stirring until they begin to wilt and are reduced in volume.
Raise heat to high; add vinegar and cook until evaporated, about one minute. Add stock; reduce heat. Simmer covered until greens are just tender—12 to 14 minutes.
Assemble each bowl by putting 1 1/2 – 2 cups of the potato and sausage mixture in the bottom. Then add 1/2 cup of the collard green mixture in a half moon shape around the outer edge of the bowl. Top each with one-quarter of the gribiche sauce and garnish with parsley.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
