Ingredients

• 1000 grams floury potatoes, peeled and cut into pieces
• 750 grams winter carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 150 grams smoked bacon bits
• 50 ml milk (or plant-based alternative)
• 50 grams butter (or plant-based margarine)
• 1-2 tablespoons TastyChef GOING DUTCH (Dutch Spices)
• Freshly ground DYNAMIC DUO (Salt & Pepper) to taste
• Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Preparation Method

1. Place the potatoes, carrots, and onions in a large pot. Add water until the vegetables are just covered. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
2. Meanwhile, fry the bacon bits in a skillet until crispy. Remove the bacon bits from the pan and drain on paper towels. Reserve one tablespoon of the bacon fat for extra flavor.
3. Drain the potatoes and vegetables, but reserve a little of the cooking water. Mash the potatoes, carrots, and onions coarsely with a potato masher. Add the milk, butter, and the reserved bacon fat, and stir well until a creamy hutspot is formed. Add a splash of the cooking water if the hutspot is too dry.
4. Now comes the magic! Stir 1 to 2 tablespoons of TastyChef GOING DUTCH into the hutspot. Taste and add more if necessary. The balanced mix of Dutch spices (without sugar or MSG) provides a deep, authentic flavor. Further season to taste with some freshly ground DYNAMIC DUO.
5. Serve the hutspot warm, garnished with the crispy bacon bits and fresh parsley. Delicious with a traditional smoked sausage or a juicy meatball!

Tips for the Best Result

1. Choose the Right Potato: Use floury potatoes for a creamy hutspot. Waxy potatoes will result in a grainier texture.
2. Depth of Flavor: For an even richer taste, you can lightly sauté the onions in a bit of butter before adding them to the potatoes and carrots.
3. Variation: Try adding some apple to the boil for a sweeter touch, or replace the bacon bits with vegetarian bacon bits for a veggie-friendly option.
