Stamppot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stamppot (variation known as Hutspot) from the Dutch word stamp, meaning "Stamp" and Pot, meaning "Pot" is a traditional Dutch peasant dish made from a combination of potatoes mashed with another vegetable. The vegetables traditionally include sauerkraut, endive, kale, or carrot and onion (the latter known as hutspot). It is served with stewed meat or more often some kind of sausage.

The origin of stamppot is unknown, however it is a widely known Dutch dish, and can be a cheap, hearty and filling meal.

[edit] Making Stamppot

Stamppot is usually made in one pot only. Potatoes, onions, and the vegetable of choice are are peeled, and placed in the pot with the sausage. Water is added, and left to boil. After potatoes are cooked, excess water is drained, and some milk and butter and salt is added, and the vegetables are mashed.

Stamppot is often served with applesauce.
