Mashed potatoes and "millionbøf"

This dish is in Danish pronounced: "Kartoffelmos med millionbøf". As I do not know what the dish is called in English  I have kept the danish word "millionbøf" - roughly meaning a million beef. The dish is made out of minced beef and cooked to a kind of bolognese, but no so tomato like.

Mashed potatoes is a great way to eat potatoes, and even though not perfectly healthy - the more butter used the better. At a restaurant I actually once had mashed potatoes, where the potatoes were cooked in melted butter. Sounds grose? The taste was great, although you might want to consider to just lye on the couch for an hour after eating. My boyfriend always has the job of doing the actual mixing of the potatoes with butter, salt, pepper, maybe milk or some cooking water. This time was no difference. I mean he does so well, so I will not be responsible for screwing it up.

Ingredients for the mashed potatoes.

For the beef sauce I fried some onion, garlic, chili, tarragon and paprika. Then added minced beef, and fried until brown. At this point the tomatoes, and tomato concentrate was added together with grated carrots, broth, a dash of sesame oil, and a big dash of balsamic vinegar and a glass of red wine. Season to taste and add thickener if needed.

The final result. Omnomnom. Not that healthy, but nice and tasty. And luckily for me - leftovers for tomorrow, when I am home alone.
