Dutch Mashed Potatoes - Hutspot (stamppot)

Who doesn't love mashed potatoes?! Stamppot (Hutspot) is the ultimate comfort food and our family eat it all year round.

Stamppot (mashed pot) is a traditional dish in the Netherlands made from mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. There are different kinds of stamppot. And this time I'll show you how to make Hutspot.

For a classic Hutspot you'll potatoes, red carrots, onion and some spices. You can serve hutspot (or other stamppots) with smoked sausage, Dutch meatballs (Oma's gehaktballen) or stew meat and gravy.

In our household we love to eat Hutspot with (vegetarian) smoked sausage or fish without gravy. When mixing the 'pot' we love to add grated cheese too.
