Stompot is a Dutch recipe that was popular right after World War 2. My grandparents lived in the Netherlands during World War 2. Stompot was made a lot because potatoes were very filling and sausage was cheap. My grandma taught my dad how to make this when he was in high school. We call it Cabbage, Potatoes, and Sausage. The Dutch people that used this recipe didn't always use cabbage. Sometimes they would use other vegetables like onions, carrots and beans.
