I tried this dish tonight to accompany T bone steak for a special Valentine dish. It is absolutely delicious! It reminded my husband a little of warm German Potato Salad. Very nice flavors together from potato, brussel sprouts, apples, and bacon. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Made this yesterday for supper. It’s so darn good! I’m not a huge fan of Brussels sprouts, but this way it was so so yummy! A new favourite at home! I really love your blog! The photos are lovely and you are very funny. I like the Dutch Recipes part best. I have a Dutch friend and colleague and I’m kind of planning on doing a few of these recipes just to surprise him. He’s always bugging (in a nice way of course) me about my Portuguese cuisine. So I’ll show him I can cook Dutch too! LOL!

I just tried the recipe and because I’m really not a fan of sprouts I replaced the sprouts with chicory. It was quite good. But you are right that it needs al little mustard. I added a good scoop of dijon.

Dit is een topper in ons gezin. Ik moet alleen niet zeggen dat het spruitjes zijn tegen de kinderen , dus bij ons heet het recept nu Kay’s stamp.

Grappig, ik heb vorige week ook een soortgelijke maaltijd gemaakt, maar dan inderdaad met uien en zonder bacon; ik heb kerriepoeder toegevoegd, was erg lekker moet ik zeggen! De spruiten heb ik aangebakken ipv gekookt, dan karameliseren de suikers erin een beetje, geeft net een ander smaakje aan de groenten.

Ik ga jouw variant zeker ook proberen (everything tastes better with bacon ;))

We love Brussel Sprouts and being married to a Brit I don’t have to tell you how he feels about potatoes! What a great recipe and let’s face it: everything’s better with bacon!

I’ve just tried it today, love it! We have a similar recipe, in Catalonia, it’s called “trinxat” (=mashed) and it’s typical of the Pyrenees area. Instead of Brussel sprouts we use cabbage. No apples, and along with the bacon we also add black sausage. I may add apples from now on to our trinxat… ;) Thanks for the recipe!

Hi Kay, for how many persons are your recipes and/or does it wary? Sorry, I could not find the info from here (or I’m blind).
I need to cook for 50 homeless persons soon in a volunteer event in Amsterdam and I’d like maybe use some of your recipes.

Hmmm not a bad idea. A little balsamic drizzled over them. Yup, gonna try it, too.
