Burning Love - (Brændende Kærlighed)

Brændende Kærlighed

This fulfilling traditional Danish meal was a very popular amongst poor Danish farmers for the simple reason that it is cheap, quick to make and very satisfying. For non-Danes, it provides a glimpse into a very traditional type of Danish meal. We recommend you try it.

Serves 4

• 1 pound potatoes
• 2 onions
• 2 teaspoons chives or parsley
• Salt
• Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Danish butter
• ½ pound Danish Bacon

• Peel or scrub potatoes, and boil them for 20-25 minutes in unsalted water or until tender enough to mash
• Cut bacon in small cubes

• Chop onions, and fry them in the bacon grease
• Mash the potatoes and mix with butter and salt
