Carrot and Onion Mashed Potatoes (Hutspot Stamppot)
Hutspot is a traditional Dutch winter dish made with mashed potatoes, carrots, and onions. This easy, comforting dish is great for a quick family dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs starchy potatoespeeled and chopped into chunks
- 1 lbs carrotschopped
- 1 cup onionsthinly sliced
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
In a large pot, cook the potatoes and grated carrots with the bay leaf for about 20 minutes, or until tender.
-
While they cook, melt butter in a heavy-bottomed pan and sauté the onions over low heat. Cook until they become soft, translucent, and golden brown, stirring often to avoid burning.
-
Once the potatoes and carrots are tender, remove the bay leaf and drain the pot.
-
Add the caramelized onions.
-
Mash everything together using a potato masher. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Add more butter and milk if needed for a creamy texture.
-
Serve the Hutspot by making a small “kuiltje” (well) in the middle of the mash, and pour some gravy into it. This is the traditional way to enjoy the dish, especially when paired with hearty meat like smoked sausage or braised beef.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stove with a bit of extra milk or butter to keep it moist, or reheat in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between.
