Netherlands

• 1 kg potatoes (peeled and cut into chunks)
• 500 g kale (chopped)
• 1 onion (chopped)
• 200 g smoked sausage (rookworst)
• 100 ml milk
• 50 g butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

• Cook the potatoes: Place the peeled and cut potatoes in a large pot. Cover with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
• Cook the kale: While the potatoes are cooking, heat some water in a separate pot and cook the kale for 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
• Prepare the sausage: In another pan, cook the smoked sausage according to the package instructions (usually simmering in water for about 15 minutes).
• Mash the potatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, salt, and pepper, and mash until smooth.
• Combine the ingredients: Stir in the cooked kale and onion into the mashed potatoes, mixing until well combined.
• Serve: Serve the Stamppot hot, topped with slices of the smoked sausage.

Stamppot is a classic Dutch dish that is perfect for cold winter months. It combines mashed potatoes with hearty vegetables like kale, endive, or sauerkraut. The dish is often served with smoked sausage and is deeply rooted in Dutch home-cooking traditions.
