Best Stamppot in Amsterdam

Stamppot is the quintessential Dutch family meal, a hearty dish of mashed potatoes mixed with one or more vegetables. The most traditional variations include 'Boerenkool' (kale), 'Hutspot' (onions and carrots), or 'Zuurkool' (sauerkraut). It is almost always crowned with a 'Kuiltje' (little pit) for rich gravy and served with a smoked sausage or slow-cooked meat.
