Hakkebøf

Hakkebøf is the Danish variety of a hamburger patty made with coarsely minced beef. Pan-fried until perfectly crispy, it is typically served alongside caramelized onions and boiled potatoes, a dish often referred to as hakkebøffer med bløde løg. Since it is one of the most common and favorite dishes in Denmark, it appears in numerous versions, and the ready-made varieties are available in most grocery stores. It is believed that hakkebøf was invented in the outskirts of Copenhagen, and that the famous American hamburger was the real inspiration for its creation.
