Norwegian Labscouse image

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs corned beef
3 lbs potatoes
1 large onion (chopped)
2 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup butter
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • Using the pound for pound corned beef to potatoes wash off any seasoning on corned beef, use any juice on a none seasoned corned beef in the boiling water. with onion and garlic.
  • Figure 20 minutes per pound for cooking.
  • Cook at a low boil, high boil will produce a tough roast.
  • Boil beef with salt and pepper until half way through cooking time.
  • Remove meat. Cut off all the fat and dispose; dice meat into small tiny pieces and put back into pot. i have actually chopped it up a little more in my food processor.
  • 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!

This dish was a disappointment. The flavors were bland and the texture was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland and the texture was mushy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less salt next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great! I especially liked the addition of the lingonberry jam. It added a nice tartness to the dish.

This dish was a lot of work to make, but it was worth it! The end result was a delicious and hearty meal that my whole family enjoyed. I especially liked the crispy fried onions on top.

Not a fan of this recipe. The flavors were bland and the texture was mushy. I think I'll stick to my usual beef stew recipe.

Just tried this recipe and it turned out amazing! The beef and potatoes were so tender and flavorful, and the gravy was perfect. I added a bit of extra mustard and it really brought the dish together. Highly recommend!
