Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 large Carrots
- 2 medium Yellow onion
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 large Smoked sausage (Dutch rookworst or kielbasa)
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 4 cups Water
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and carrots. Cut the potatoes into quarters and slice the carrots into thick coins.
Peel and chop the onions into large chunks.
Place the potatoes, carrots, and onions into a large pot. Add 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender.
While the vegetables are cooking, heat the smoked sausage according to its package instructions. Most sausages can be simmered in a small amount of water for 10-12 minutes or baked in the oven.
When the vegetables are cooked, drain the water from the pot but reserve about 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
Add the butter and milk to the drained vegetables. Using a potato masher, mash the mixture until smooth. If the texture is too thick, add a little of the reserved cooking liquid, one tablespoon at a time, until your desired consistency is reached.
Season the mash with ground black pepper and dried thyme, adjusting salt to taste if needed.
Serve the orange-colored mash (hutspot) warm with the cooked sausage on the side or sliced on top. Enjoy!
