Hutspot
Serves 3-4

Ingredients:


 * 4-5 large potatoes (suitable for cooking)


 * 5-6 large carrots


 * 2 red onions


 * Butter


 * Meat gravy (optional)


 * Meat (see below)

Materials:


 * A large, deep pot


 * Ideally a potato masher. If not available, a large fork kinda works.

Directions:

1. Peal and quarter potatoes.

2. Wash potato pieces and add to pot.

3. Add water till potatoes are just covered and add teaspoon of salt to water.

4. Dice onions and cut carrots into half-circles about the width of a pen.

5. Add onions and carrots to pot.

6. Bring to a boil, then lower to low/medium heat. Cook until potatoes are done *will take about 20-30 minutes* Keep the lid on the pan as much as possible.

Whilst it's cooking, prepare your meat. Ideally this would be some sort of sausage. Any cut of pork or beef would suffice though. Since this is a "poor man's dish", I'd advise to avoid things such as steak. Prepare your meat as you'd like, though frying in butter is preferred. Either make gravy from the fat you've fried your meat in, or buy meat gravy.

7. Pour water out of pot using the lid to keep your taters, onions and carrots in the keep.

8. Add 30-40 grams of butter, flavor with salt and pepper and mash until coarse.

9. For originality, you can serve it like Dutch kids have for 'centuries': Deposit a blob of the stuff on a plate. make a little crater in the center and fill it with meat gravy. Put your meat on the side of this 'volcano'. Enjoy!

If you opted to add lard cubes, fry them now. You'll want to fry them until they're dark brown.
