we put a bit of a twist on this recipe.. use 2 pounds potato, 1 pound carrot, 1 pound rutabaga, and 1/2 pound each of onion and celery.. place all veggies in a large pot with 2 cups water, cook til tender, drain and mash with 2 cups sour cream.. serve with rookworst and spek (that's dutch for bacon) and plain yellow mustard

Evaporated milk is not an everyday ingredient in Dutch cooking, hutspot is usually made by cooking the veggies altogether in chicken stock, adding some of the drained cooking liquid to mash, then the fried bacon is sprinkled on top before adding the au jus. But yes you need some rookworst too!

AMAZING!!! I used 4 medium potatoes, 3 carrots, 1.5 onions and 4 strips of bacon. I boiled the potatoes, carrots and 1 onion together while sauteing the the bacon with the half of onion. When potatoes and carrots where done cooking I mashed them up and added in the bacon and onion along with 1/4 cup evaporated milk and 3 tablespoons butter. Served with smoked sausage... delicious!
