Notes
"Stamppot" is a traditional Dutch dish typically made from a mix of mashed potatoes and one or more additional vegetables. To make this dish even more authentically Dutch, create a well in the "stamppot" using the back of a gravy ladle and pour the gravy directly into the well, without using a bowl.
* I am using a vegetarian smoked sausage, although the original version contains meat. I recommend purchasing the smoked sausage from the brands Unox or Hema, they both offer vegetarian options.
