Ranked by TableJourney editorial score.
Dutch mashed potato combined with a cooked vegetable: boerenkool (curly kale), hutspot (carrot and onion) or zuurkool (sauerkraut). Served with rookworst smoked sausage.
Stamppot is Holland's defining cold-weather dish. Hutspot is said to date to the 1574 Siege of Leiden, though the present form developed in the 17th century. Boerenkool met worst became the standard winter dish across the Dutch working class by the 19th century. Utrecht brown cafes and traditional Dutch restaurants serve stamppot as a seasonal menu item from October through March.
