Biksemad, a beloved Danish comfort dish, is a delightful medley of crispy diced potatoes, savory onions, and hearty leftover meat, all cooked to golden perfection. Traditionally enjoyed as a way to make the most of leftover ingredients, this dish is not only resourceful but also deliciously satisfying. Topped with a perfectly fried egg and served alongside tangy pickled beets, Biksemad is a warm hug on a plate that brings together the best of Danish home cooking.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Potatoes
4 cups, diced
Onion
1 medium, diced
Leftover meat (beef, pork, or chicken)
2 cups, diced
Butter
3 tablespoons
Salt
to taste
Pepper
to taste
Eggs
4, fried
Fresh parsley
for garnish, chopped
Pickled beets
1 cup, sliced

Instructions

  1. Begin by boiling the diced potatoes in salted water until tender, approximately 10-15 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
  3. Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the diced leftover meat into the skillet, stirring occasionally until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the boiled potatoes to the mixture, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the potatoes to crisp up and turn golden brown.
  6. While the potato mixture cooks, heat a separate non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry the eggs to your desired doneness (sunny-side up works beautifully).
  7. To serve, plate the crispy Biksemad hot, topped with a fried egg, slices of pickled beets, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color.
