Danish Hash Recipes

DANISH HASH

Steps:

• Melt the 1/2 the butter in a skillet, saute the onions until golden, remove from pan and keep warm.
• Put the remaining butter in the skillet and saute the potato until they are turning brown.
• Add meat and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the onions and cook until all is heated through. Traditionally, sailors put an egg that's still soft centered--either soft-boiled or fried--on top, but that's not necessary.
