Lapskojs
A dish much loved by many, many generations of Swedes.
Ingredients
- 10 floury potatoes cubed
- 600 g salt beef shredded (you may know it as salt brisket or corned beef)
- 5 corns white pepper
- 3 corns allspice
- 1 bayleaf
- beef stock to just cover
- 3 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Put potatoes and shredded salt beef in a saucepan. Pour in beefstock to just cover. Add the pepper corns, allspice and bayleaf.
- Bring to the boil and let simmer until the potatoes are soft.
- Remove the spices.
- With a potato masher, or fork, mash the potatoes in the stock. Add the butter and blend it all together.
Notes
Serve with pickled beetroot. If you don't have access to salt beef (corned beef or brisket) you can use a tin of corned beef, but then you should wait with adding it to the potatoes until they have been cooked and mashed.
