Ingredients

Can I make it vegan?

Absolutely! Swap the butter with vegan butter or vegetable oil.

  • Potatoes: It’s best to use starchy rather than waxy potatoes for this recipe. Russet, Idaho, and Yukon Gold all work well. Replace some of the potatoes with cauliflower for a lower fat version.
  • Butternut Squash: Sub with pumpkin.
  • Sweet potato: You can add more of the butternut squash instead.
  • Rutabaga: Swap it with turnips, kohlrabi, or celery root.
  • Leek: You can replace it with green (spring) onions or leave it out.
  • Kale: Spinach, chard, mustard greens, and collard greens are all excellent substitutions.
  • Dutch Rookworst (if using): If you can’t find this smoked sausage, use Polish-style kielbasa or other smoked sausages like Spanish Chorizo.

This recipe combines hutspot and boerenkool plus more yummy vegetables for a delicious, wholesome meal.

Instructions

  1. Clean, peel, and chop all the vegetables into about 1-inch pieces.
  2. Place all the vegetables in a large pot, add enough water to cover, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until vegetables are tender.
  3. Drain the vegetables well, add butter, then mash but don’t purée. Season the stamppot with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Top Tips
  • Use any vegetables you prefer: parsnip or turnip instead of rutabaga and Swiss chard or Savoy cabbage instead of kale.
  • This recipe requires lots of peeling and chopping, so I simplified it by cooking everything together for an easy one-pot meal.
  • If you cook the vegetables in one pot, make sure to cut them all into equally large pieces.
  • Let the vegetables drain well before mashing them so that your stamppot is not runny.
  • You can brown onions in oil first (even use bacon) before adding them to cooked vegetables for added flavor.

The most popular varieties of Dutch stamppot you will find are mashed potatoes in combination with these vegetables:

  • kale – aka stamppot boerenkool
  • onions and carrots – hutspot (or hotchpotch in English)
  • sauerkraut – zuurkool stamppot
  • endive – andijviestamppot
  • string beans and/or white beans – stamppot snijbonen and/or witte bonen
  • leeks – preistamppot

The exact origin of stamppot is unknown, but it is said that the invention of Dutch hutspot dates sometime in the second half of the 16th century.
