Stampot is a traditional Dutch dish with roots dating back to the 17th century. This hearty and warming meal has become a symbol of home comfort. The base consists of creamy mashed potatoes mixed with fresh endive leaves for a slight bitterness. Smoked sausages add a rich meaty flavor, while crispy bacon and white wine provide refined notes. Stampot is quick and easy to prepare, and its thick texture makes it perfect for cold days. In the Netherlands, it is traditionally served with sausages, mustard, and pickled onions. This dish unites generations and reminds us of the warmth of family traditions.
