Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg potatoes
- 500 g sauerkraut
- 1 whole smoked sausage (rookworst)
- 250 ml milk
- 50 g unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp mustard (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Rinse them under cold water and place them in a large pot.
Add enough water to the pot to cover the potatoes completely and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
While the potatoes are boiling, rinse the sauerkraut in cold water, then drain it well. Set aside.
Once the potatoes have been boiling for about 10 minutes, add the sauerkraut to the pot and cook everything together for another 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Meanwhile, heat the smoked sausage according to the package instructions—this usually involves boiling or steaming it for about 10 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and sauerkraut well and return them to the pot. Let the heat from the pot evaporate any excess moisture for a minute or two.
Heat the milk in a small saucepan until warm, then pour it over the potato and sauerkraut mixture. Add the butter, and use a potato masher to mash everything together until creamy.
Stir in the mustard (if using), and season the mash with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the stamppot hot with slices of smoked sausage on top or alongside. Enjoy!
