Potato with bacon, chervil and fleur de sel © kvalifood.com
This version of potato smørrebrød takes the classic open sandwich and adds crispy bacon, which brings salt and crunch to the soft potato slices. Chervil is an underrated herb in Danish cooking with a mild, sweet flavour reminiscent of parsley and anise, and it works well here both as a garnish and flavour contributor. Fleur de sel — the French flaky salt — adds a crisp saltiness that melts on the tongue and brings out the potato flavour. It is a simple dish that is about good ingredients in the right combination, with nothing superfluous.
