What it is
Holland's winter mash: potatoes crushed with kale, carrots or sauerkraut, crowned with a juicy smoked sausage and a pool of gravy. Ingredients: floury potatoes, curly kale (boerenkool), carrots and onions (for hutspot), rookworst smoked sausage, butter, milk, gravy, mustard, bay, salt. Recipe: 1) Boil potatoes with the vegetables until everything surrenders. 2) Heat the rookworst in its own water bath. 3) Mash roughly with butter and hot milk — stamppot stays rustic, never puréed. 4) Make a well for gravy (het kuiltje). Serve: with the rookworst on top and mustard alongside. Flavor: earthy, smoky, butter-rich simplicity. History: hutspot's legend dates to the 1574 Siege of Leiden, when a Spanish pot of vegetables was found abandoned — the city still eats it every 3 October. See also: Erwtensoep, Bitterballen.
