Make sure you use smoked ham hocks, not regular ones as listed in the recipe for great flavor. Forget the oil; it's not needed. Taste the collards part way through the cooking time to see if they need the sugar. Like other vegeatbles, if very fresh, they won't need it. If older, they will. Add a splash of cider vinegar near the end of cooking and use only four cups of water unless you want tons of pot likker. The recipe is ok. Because the recipe calls for ham hocks, not smoked hock and adds the oil, I'm giving it a lower rating. And don't forget to serve it with hot peppa sauce! ;o)
