Burning Love

I have never really known why this dish is known as 'burning love' in Denmark. Basically it's just mashed potatoes with fried bacon and onion - and a some fresh parsley. Pretty easy.

Ingredients:
- 2.4 kg (5.3 lbs) potatoes, cut in chunks
- water
- 0.5 L ( 2 cups) milk
- salt & pepper
- bacon, diced
- 2 medium-large onions, chopped
- 1 bunch parsley, chopped

The potato chunks were boiled in unsalted water till fairly soft. The water was drained and the potatoes were mashed with a ladle [1]. The milk was stirred in, being added in portions, to give the desired texture. Seasoned to taste with salt and pepper.

In a large pan bacon was fried. Then added onion and continued till the onion were soft and brown.

The mash was served with the bacon onion mix, and freshly chopped parsley - ketchup optional.

[1] The resulting mash was slightly chunky, which I like, but if a smoother mash is desired I'd use a hand-held mixer.
