DS> Title: Dutch Potatoes
The Dutch call it Hutspot which is the root word for the English
term hodge-podge. Dutch Farmer Bill's mom served some kind of potato
dish at every lunch and supper. The family grew several acres of
them for market. She made Hutspot often and sometimes used rutabaga,
turnip or parsnips instead of carrots. They also grew acres of
yellow turnips (rutabaga) so that was actually more common than
carrots in their home.
It is better tasting with a little meat in it or quite a bit of meat
if it's the main course and not a side dish. Diced beef or pork stew
meat, sausage or wiener coins or bacon are all very good in it.
If you add some kind of cabbage (including kale, brussels sprouts
and even sauerkraut) it becomes "stamppot".
DS> 2 ts Butter
Hermina (the mom) generally used lard as they raised and butchered
their own pigs but didn't have a cow and when I was very young they
didn't have a lot of money for store bought butter.
DS> 1/4 c Sour cream
I've never had it with sour cream but that would be good.
DS> mash
It should be roughly and coarsely mashed and not completely
smooth.
Cheers
Jim
... Pork can take a rutabaga and turn it into food!
