Labskaus (German Corned Beef Hash)
"This is a one-dish meal and a specialty of Hamburg, Germany. It is basically a corned beef hash (potatoes and corned beef) mixed with beets, so that the dish is completely red. It is served with a fried egg on top and spicy German pickles and rollmops (pickled herring wrapped around a pickle). The recipe is recipe #87997."

Minus the eggs, this sounds just like the recipe that my mom used to make using leftover corned beef. She'd brown it in a cast iron fry pan, and serve it with ketchup. Will try it next week. Thank you!

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
