The canonical version and where to order it.
Stamppot is Amsterdam's winter comfort plate: mashed potato pounded together with a green (kale, sauerkraut, endive) or root vegetable (carrot, onion), topped with a smoked sausage and a well of jus.
Stamppot was Dutch peasant cooking, a one-pot kitchen-economy meal mashing potato and seasonal vegetables together. Boerenkool stamppot (with kale) is the most signature version. By the 20th century it had moved into Amsterdam brown cafes and eetcafes as the winter signature plate. Moeders on Rozengracht runs the canonical version, the menu rotating greens through the cold months.
