I can't say I've heard of called that. But its just mashed potato with fried onions and bacon pieces on top! Very tasty. But I can't really imagine why its called 'Burning Love'. It doesn't strike me as very romantic!

Its a traditional Danish recipe. A similar recipe can be found here, plus some additional background information: http://www.copenhagenet.dk/CPH-Map/CPH-Recipes-BurningLove-01-2012.asp

This traditional Danish dish is named Burning Love because the dish has to be served piping hot - and is at the same time very popular among the Danes - as it is easy and cheap to prepare and make.

Bringing home to bacon in the love department? Is the bacon the heart of the relationship? Maybe, but I have not heard of it. It's one of those things that must be tasty I think.

It does look tasty for sure. I mean seriously, how can you go wrong with bacon and mashed potatoes? Oh and onions, some of my favorite foods! I agree Valentines Day should include some kind of red in the feast. It is just tradition..failing that some kind of chocolate would be good!

Its traditionally served with pickled beetroot in Denmark. So there's your red!

It sounds like it would be something I would enjoy, since it's basically a combination of tastes and flavors I enjoy. I didn't know why it was called Burning Love either, so I appreciated the explanation!

Well, you cannot get anymore basic than that. I'd say simple is best and this is something I might make anytime at all due to it being so easy to make. I could even go as far as making it my breakfast changing the mashed potato for a potato waffle. @morning glory Thanks for the look up, I thought the name of this recipe was rather unique at first when I was told about it. Then I realised how simple it was.

That looks really good and with the addition of garlic, onion and bacon (my three favorite cooking things) I'm certain it will taste good as well. Even if this dish might kill me I'd die happy to have a piece of Burning Love.

This looks interesting, I can't say I understand the name but I could see trying something like this for a special event.

I see you have added garlic! Its not in the original recipe - but I reckon it might make it even better.

It looks and sounds really good and why wouldn't it? Everything is better with bacon added to it!!
