Ingredients

• 1.5 kg potatoes
• 500 g sauerkraut
• 1 whole smoked sausage (rookworst)
• 250 ml milk
• 50 g unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp mustard (optional)
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Rinse them under cold water and place them in a large pot.

Step 2

Add enough water to the pot to cover the potatoes completely and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

While the potatoes are boiling, rinse the sauerkraut in cold water, then drain it well. Set aside.

Step 4

Once the potatoes have been boiling for about 10 minutes, add the sauerkraut to the pot and cook everything together for another 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 5

Meanwhile, heat the smoked sausage according to the package instructions—this usually involves boiling or steaming it for about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Drain the potatoes and sauerkraut well and return them to the pot. Let the heat from the pot evaporate any excess moisture for a minute or two.

Step 7

Heat the milk in a small saucepan until warm, then pour it over the potato and sauerkraut mixture. Add the butter, and use a potato masher to mash everything together until creamy.

Step 8

Stir in the mustard (if using), and season the mash with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve the stamppot hot with slices of smoked sausage on top or alongside. Enjoy!
