Low FODMAP sweet potato mash with spinach and goat cheese
One of the most traditional Dutch recipes is what we call “stamppot”. This is a dish made with mashed potatoes and a leafy green, such as kale or endive, stirred through the potatoes.
Stamppot is loved by many Dutchies and is often eaten in autumn and winter when the days get colder. I want to share a recipe for a slightly less traditional stamppot recipe: a low FODMAP sweet potato mash with spinach and goat cheese.
I have to admit that I am not a fan of stamppot or mashed potatoes in general. It is one of the few dishes that I really really dislike.
But after 5 years of blogging and many requests for a low FODMAP mashed potato recipe later, I thought it was time to share a stamppot recipe with you. Because the fact that I don’t like it, doesn’t mean my readers can’t enjoy it 😉
Low FODMAP sweet potato mash with spinach
I love the combination sweet potato, spinach and goat cheese. And as I wanted to make a stamppot that I would also enjoy, I decided to use these flavours in this recipe.
I made a low FODMAP sweet potato mash with spinach and goat cheese. Because sweet potato is only limited low FODMAP up to 75 gram per serving, I also added normal potatoes and parsnip to the mash.
Like this you get a yummy sweet potato mash where you can definitely taste the sweet potatoes, but you are still within a safe low FODMAP limit.
To give the dish some extra flavour and texture, I added sundried tomatoes, chopped walnuts and goat cheese. And wow that is a great combination! It gives the mashed sweet potatoes a lot of extra flavour.
In the Netherlands, stamppot is eaten as a main dish, but if you want you can also serve this sweet potato mash as a side dish.

Notes
*75 g sweet potato per serving is low FODMAP. Stick to the amounts listed in the recipe to stay within the low FODMAP serving size.
**3 sundried tomatoes per serving are low FODMAP. If you eat more, your serving will be high in fructose. Make sure you buy a jar of sundried tomatoes that doesn’t have garlic or other FODMAPs added.
In the Netherlands, we eat this dish as a main dish. This recipe is for 2 servings. You can also serve it as a side dish. Then it will be good for 4-6 servings.
