Dutch Stamppot
Dutch stamppot is the ultimate comfort food of the Netherlands. There are countless versions of this yummy goodness; always mashed potatoes cooked with other vegetables with some type of pork over the top; usually smoked sausage or thick slices of slab bacon. My recipe is very typical; mashed potatoes with sautéed kale, shallots, and garlic mixed in, topped with sliced kielbasa.
