NORWEGIAN LABSCOUSE

This is a family favorite. My grandfather started making for my dad when he was a little boy- a Norwegian dish that always pleases the whole family and leaves us begging for more. I realize that it may be confusing that there are no amounts listed. This is a "to taste" recipe. And the amounts are equal if you have a 3 lb roast then you use 3 lbs of potatoes. When mashing them together add milk/pot liquor to your preference of consistency. Also the seasonings you add should be to your taste i.e. garlic, salt, pepper, butter or other spices YOU like. Adapt this recipe to your taste and make it YOUR dish! I am now making amounts for those who are totally confused.

  • Wash, peel, and dice potatoes; add to the pot, continue to low boil until potatoes are done.
  • Be careful not to over cook potatoes.
  • Drain well over a large bowl to reserve juices (pot liquor).
  • In another large bowl mash potatoes and beef together adding milk, butter, and salt and pepper to taste. and making sure all are blended well and you have a smooth texture.
  • If additional liquid is needed, you can use some of the reserved "pot liquor" instead of more milk.
  • **TIP** For breakfast; fry up some like hash and have with eggs.
  • Its great!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef and pork for the best flavor. If you can, try to find grass-fed, organic meat.

  • Use a variety of vegetables in your lapskaus. This will give the dish a more complex flavor and texture.
