The 'stamppot', a traditional Dutch mash potato dish, remains an all time classic in the country's winter months. Jac van den Oord Potatoes capitalizes on this with their Special Purpose Pomatoes line, selecting potatoes especially for stamppot.
"Colder weather is favorable in general for the potato business, since stamppot is a staple dish in this period. Next to an increase in demand for our smaller premium potatoes, this also results in more demand for potatoes for this signature dish," concludes Leon van den Oord of Jac van den Oord potatoes.
"Besides, not only the is weather becoming more "bleak", but the economy is as well. In lesser economic times such as these, consumers often fall back on the old and familiar. Here too, potatoes are at an advantage. If we combine those two things, we expect a considerable boost in the upcoming time for our new Stamppot potatoes."
"It's a winter meal, one nearly everyone enjoys," says Leon. "The most widely consumed and loved version in The Netherlands is 'boerenkoolstamppot' (red: a variation including kale). The ones with carrots or sauerkraut belong to the classics as well. It's possible to vary and experiment with stamppot endlessly. What about stamppot with endive, brussel sprouts or even purslane, cauliflower or cooked red beets? Whether you prefer a classic or a more daring stamppot, one thing is certain: the stamppot potatoes of Jac van den Oord Potatoes always make for a smooth base."
