uses certainly referred to its culinary sense. Similar foods More a hearty meal than a side dish, hutspot is very popular during Dutch winters. Related Dutch mashed potato dishes such as stamppot include boerenkool ("farmers' cabbage" or kale), andijvie (endive), spruitjes (brussels sprouts) or zuurkool (sauerkraut), generally with some rookworst (smoked sausage) or smoked bacon. However, the chunky texture of hutspot distinguishes it from other more smoothly pureed potato-based dishes. The Swedish dish rotmos – "root mash" – is similar, save for the onions which are substituted with swede (kålrot). Potch, a traditional Welsh accompaniment to meat dishes, is likewise made with mashed potato, carrot, swede, parsnip and sometimes other root vegetables. In the UK and other countries, a similar dish of chopped potato, onions and more is referred to as a hash. Despite the similar name, hutspot is a distinct dish from the Flemish hutsepot, a meat stew with unmashed vegetables. References Dutch cuisine Dutch words and phrases Potato dishes Carrot dishes
