Description
Dutch Stamppot is a comforting dish of mashed potatoes combined with kale, garlic, and shallots, topped with smoked sausage and a drizzle of olive oil. Perfect for a hearty, traditional meal.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs potatoes, chopped into 1-inch cubes
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 Tbsp butter or oil
- 1 bunch kale (about 12 oz), cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 shallots, chopped
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 1.5 cups milk, warmed
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 lb smoked pork sausage (Dutch rookworst or kielbasa)
- 4 Tbsp olive oil, for garnish
Instructions
- Add potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Add bay leaves and salt. Bring to a boil and cook about 20 minutes until potatoes are soft, then drain and remove bay leaves.
- Heat 2 Tbsp butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, cook for 1–2 minutes.
- Add kale with 1/4 cup water and steam until tender, adding water as needed.
- Mash potatoes with 4 Tbsp butter, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth. Stir in kale mixture.
- Cook sausage using preferred method (sautéed in same pan after kale is removed works well).
- Serve a generous portion of stamppot, top with sliced sausage, and drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil per serving.
Notes
- If Dutch rookworst is unavailable, Polish kielbasa works as a substitute.
- For a simpler version, boil kale, garlic, and shallots with potatoes and mash everything together.
