Ingredients

1 kg floury potatoes

150 g smoked bacon lardons
40 g butter
A splash of warm whole milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

How do you make hete bliksem?

Peel the potatoes and cut them into large pieces. Peel the apples, remove the cores and cut them into quarters.
Put the potato pieces into the Dutch oven and add just enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil with a pinch of salt.
After 10 minutes, add the apple pieces to the pot. Cook together another 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the apples are soft.
Drain the cooking water and let the mixture steam briefly so it dries out a bit.
Roughly mash the potatoes and apples together. Add the butter and a splash of warm whole milk and mash until you have a creamy stamppot. Season with salt, pepper and, if you like, a pinch of nutmeg.
Meanwhile, fry the bacon lardons in a frying pan over medium heat until crisp. No extra fat needed; the bacon will render its own fat.
Scoop the hete bliksem into deep plates or serve straight from the pot. Scatter the crispy bacon over the top and add more pepper to taste if desired.

Cooking mode Prevents your screen from going to sleep

Hete bliksem tastes best when you keep the stamppot nicely chunky. Don't mash it too smooth — that little piece of apple or potato you still bite into is what makes the dish. Use tart apples for the best balance with the savory bacon.

A cast-iron Dutch oven retains heat exceptionally well and distributes it evenly. That way the potatoes and apples cook without sticking, and you can comfortably bring the pot to the table if you want to enjoy it together.
