Our four-year-old loves Formula 1 racing, which has drivers from around the world, so every Friday, we've been trying to eat foods commonly eaten in one of the countries that the F1 drivers is from. That's how we discovered this wonderful dish from the Netherlands. We love it and it will definitely be going on our regular meal rotation. 

Dutch Stamppot

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs potatoes (chopped into fourths)
• 2 packs (about 20 oz) of frozen, cubed butternut squash (you can substitute for fresh if you wish)
• 1 pack (about 10 oz) of frozen, cubed sweet potatoes (you can substitute for fresh if you wish)
• 1 cup of baby carrots
• 1 diced yellow onion
• 2 cups of kale (chopped and with stems removed)
• 1/2 cup of butter
• 1/2 cup of parsley
• 13-15 oz of turkey polska kielbasa (or any other type of sausage)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Prepare the vegetables: wash and chop the potatoes into fourths. Dice onion. Wash and chop kale. If using fresh butternut squash or sweet potatoes, peel and dice. 
2. Place all the chopped vegetables (potatoes, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, onion, kale) into a large pot. Add water to just barely cover the vegetables then place pot over high heat until boiling. Then reduce heat to medium and simmer until vegetables are tender (about 20 minutes). 
3. While vegetables are cooking, slice the kielbasa into small circles. Then cook on stovetop based on package instructions. After cooked, put on low heat to keep warm. 
4. After the vegetables are tender, drain the water from the pot and then mash them together. You do not have to mash until smooth - some lumps are good and it's nice to have some distinction in taste with each bite. 
5. Add the butter to the mashed vegetables and season with parsley and salt and pepper to taste. 
6. Serve the mashed vegetables (stamppot) with the sliced kielbasa on top.
