Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams Russet potatoes
- 300 grams Kale (or endive, or sauerkraut for variations)
- 1 link Smoked sausage (rookworst)
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 125 milliliters Warm milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 grams Bacon bits (optional)
- 1 medium Onion (optional, finely chopped)
Instructions
Peel, wash, and roughly chop the potatoes into evenly sized pieces for even cooking.
In a large pot, add the potatoes, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the smoked sausage according to package instructions. Typically, it is heated in hot (not boiling) water for about 15-20 minutes.
If using kale, wash and chop it into small pieces. If using an onion, finely chop it as well.
Optional: If adding bacon bits, lightly fry the bacon and onion together in a skillet over medium heat until crispy and golden. Set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow the excess moisture to evaporate for about a minute on low heat.
Add the butter, warm milk, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the kale (or endive, or sauerkraut) and stir well to combine. If using bacon bits and onion, mix them in as well.
Serve the stamppot warm with the smoked sausage on the side or sliced on top for a traditional presentation.
