Note

"Stamppot" means that the vegetables and potatoes are mixed to a smooth consistency.

It is a typical winter dish in the Netherlands. The Dutch have a saying: never eat curly kale before the frost has got at it, as frost improves its sweetness.

Traditional stamppot often uses rookworst (Dutch smoked sausage), but any quality smoked sausage or frankfurters work well.

For a richer flavor, you can add a knob of butter or margarine to the mash along with the milk.
