Kale Potato Mash (Dutch Boerenkool Stamppot)
When the temperature drops and you’re craving something warm and hearty, this Dutch classic is the ultimate comfort food. Boerenkool stamppot - or kale mash with sausage - is one of the favorite winter dishes in the Netherlands, made with mashed potatoes, sautéed kale, and smoky sausage. It’s simple, cozy, and full of flavor. Think of it as the Dutch version of colcannon, the Irish mashed potato and cabbage dish, but with a bit more rustic charm and a delicious smoky twist.
Ingredients
- 500 grams floury potatoes peeled and cubed
- 100 grams lean bacon bits
- 1 smoked sausage rookworst
- 300 grams kale cleaned and finely chopped
- 20 grams butter
- 50 ml whole milk
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and let them steam dry.
- Warm the smoked sausage in hot water.
- Fry the bacon bits until crispy, then add the kale and cook until wilted.
- Combine the potatoes and kale mixture, then mash together. Add butter and milk until smooth and creamy.
- Serve with the smoked sausage and a side of coarse mustard.
Notes
Instead of sautéing the kale you can also cook it along with the potatoes. In that case you add the kale about 10 minutes before the cooking time for the potatoes is finished.
