NOTES

1. Potatoes -

Use floury potatoes to make this recipe. Russet, Doré, King Edward, and Maris Piper are great choices.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized pieces. That way, they cook evenly and will be done at the same time.
Mash the potatoes with a masher. Do not use a mixer, or the potatoes will turn into gunk that resembles glue.

2. Garlic butter - Use herbed butter instead of garlic butter if you want a less pronounced garlic taste.

3. Delicious with - Stamppot is delicious with a traditional Granny's Dutch meatball or a stew with speculaas and apple butter. Or eat it with no extra side dishes; that will be great too!

4. Storage -
Let the stew cool down quickly before storing it.

Refrigerator - Keep the endive stew covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Freezer - You can freeze this andijviestamppot just fine. Place in a freezer box or bag and store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator.
Reheat - Warm up the stew in the microwave or fry it with butter in a frying pan. But this is undoubtedly also delicious to warm up as an oven dish. To do this, place the endive stew in an oven dish. Sprinkle with some breadcrumbs and cubes of butter and bake in a preheated oven at 390 °F (200 °C) for 30 minutes.
