City or region: Brussels
Description: This is a popular dish in belgium and brussels. It consist in mashed potatoes (mixed with 1 or several vegetables) & sausages or ham.
It's a winter meal as it's quite heavy. But it's really tasty.
Ingredients:
Recipe: * Heat a small skillet over high heat.
* Add the bacon and sauté for 5 minutes until the bacon bits are well colored.
* Remove from heat and set aside.
* Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
* Add potatoes and carrots.
* Cook for 20 to 25 minutes until the potatoes and carrots are well done or even slightly overdone (they will be easier to mash).
* Drain the vegetables and place them in a salad bowl.
* Mash the vegetables with a fork, a potato masher or any other manual ustensil. It is important not to use an electric mixer so that the texture remains chunky enough.
* Add the bacon bits and let the diced pieces of butter melt on top of the mashed vegetables.
* Add cream and nutmeg.
* Season with salt and pepper.
* Toss well and serve.
