20110128 Hutspot

The temperature has dropped to below 0 degree C again. So more stamppot this week! My husband does not like hutspot (mashed potatoes, carrots, and onions), so I served this with something he definitely likes - i.e. some homemade meatballs and loads of boterjus (excessive fat from cooking the meat with lots of butter)!

INGREDIENTS
800g starchy potatoes, peeled and cubed
200g carrots, cut into thin strips
200g onions, thinly sliced
beef stock
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp creme fraiche
salt and pepper

METHOD
1. Put the potatoes, carrots, and onions into a big pot. Top it with beef stock. Bring to the boil, and cook for 20 minutes. Drain well.
2. Add the butter and creme fraiche to the boiled vegetables. Mash everything together, and season with salt and pepper.
