Recipe byThe ZestyPlate Kitchen
A comforting Dutch mash of potato and runner beans with onion, garlic, mustard and cheese, served with crispy bacon. Warming, homely one-pan fare.
Stamppot is the Dutch idea of comfort food: creamy mashed potato shot through with vegetables, here fresh runner beans, melted cheese and crisp bacon. It's warming, filling and about as straightforward as supper gets, made for dark evenings. A spoonful of mustard stirred through brings a gentle tang.

Scale:
- 400g Runner Beans
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 chopped Onion
- 800g Potatoes
- 25g Butter
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
- 1 dash Milk
- 100g Cheese
- 75g Bacon
- Pinch Salt
Preparation
- Wash and chop the runner beans, drop them into a saucepan of salted water, and bring to the boil. Cook for about 10 minutes, until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a pan of water and cook until tender.
- Heat a little butter in a small skillet and soften the onion until translucent, then add the garlic and cook briefly. Add the runner beans and stir-fry for a few minutes.
- Mash the potatoes, working in a knob of butter and a splash of milk. Stir through the bean mixture and grated cheese, then season with salt, pepper and mustard.
- Fry the bacon and serve it with the bean mash.
Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen
- Cook the runner beans only until just tender so they keep a bit of bite in the mash.
- Mash the potatoes thoroughly with butter and milk for a smooth base.
- Stir the cheese in while the mash is still hot so it melts right through.
- Crown it with crispy bacon for a salty finish.
