“Hutspot was a delightful surprise. I wasn’t familiar with the dish before trying it, but I’m glad I did. The combination of boiled and mashed potatoes, carrots, and onions was a perfect example of how simple ingredients can come together to create something truly special. The seasoning was spot-on and I appreciated the option to add garlic and fresh herbs. Overall, a fantastic dish that I would definitely try it again.”

“Hutspot is one of my favorite traditional Dutch dishes, mashed together with vegetables and potatoes this is a comfort food for me as it is savoury and filling. Although it is a side I’d often make this alone on a rainy day for that nostagic feeling I have. If you love carbohydrates, this is the one for you.”

Personal Review
“My first encounter with Hutspot was at The Dutch, Jakarta. It was a delightful experience.
The combination of boiled and mashed potatoes, carrots, and onions was simple, yet so flavorful. The sweetness from the carrots perfectly balanced the savory flavors of the potatoes and onions, and the addition of garlic and fresh herbs made the dish even more delicious. The creamy texture was comforting and filling, making it the perfect side dish for a cold winter evening.
I highly recommend trying this dish if you’re in the mood for a comforting and hearty side dish. I will definitely be back for more!”
