Brændende kærlighed

Brændende kærlighed, which can be translated as burning love, is a simple Danish dish consisting of creamy mashed potatoes topped with fried onions and strips of bacon. Mashed potatoes are usually mixed with butter and seasoned with nutmeg, while the whole dish is occasionally topped with chives and served alongside pickled or fresh salads.

This traditional dish is believed to have originated in the rural areas of Denmark more than 200 years ago. Today, it is mostly eaten as a satisfying winter meal that should always be served piping hot.
