  1. I think it’s a must have in most danish homes at Christmas 🎅

  2. I’ve never experienced christmas without them. Even when I celebrated christmas with my fellow students.

  3. Anyone who doesn’t is sent straight to jail, right away.

  4. Caramelised potatos? My mom made 2kg this year and 2kg regular potatos.

  5. It’s a felony to not eat a brune kartofler during Christmas times

  6. We’re visiting Copenhagen. Is this something it is done at home or you can buy/order it somewhere?

  7. This is the most importnant part of christmas. M34. Please dont call me old. I consider My self post teenager

  8. I don’t, but the rest of my family does.
    (I personally think it becomes abit to sweet in combination with the red cabbage).

  9. We never did when I was young. Maybe because my mom cooked, and she didn’t like them. My wife’s family does have them though, so I made some this year. They are alright, although I don’t really understand the hype. I don’t think they go as well with the grave as the regular boiled potatoes do.

  10. Yes!!!! Love “sweet potatoes”. Made with brown sugar and butter

  11. Yes. It’s the right potato to eat. Of course you also have the white ones, they are just referred to as “pligt-kartofler” (duty potatoes, since it is considered impolite to not eat one, but it really isn’t the main attraction of the meal)

  12. I am making it for the first time tomorrow! We are combining English (me) and Danish (my boyfriend) traditions with a little sprinkle of our own. Excited to try it, less excited to make it as I’m so scared of ruining things hahaha.

  13. Hey there – I’m Canadian-Danish too!

    Your taters look excellent!

    Hmu if you’re ever looking for danish cooking advice!

  14. Yes. It’s mandatory by law. Otherwise immigration is coming to get you.

  15. Bro I’m so full right now it’s my favorite thing at Christmas dinner

  16. More “brown potatoes” was eaten here than the regular the Christmas Eve.
    Family of nine aged between 3 og 67.

  17. YES. I no longer live in Denmark but Christmas needs these

  18. I do! With a roasted duck. Some of my Canadian friends here in Canada love them too

  19. When our family (14 people) gathers on Christmas eve, we all strain ourselves to not eat all of these brown potatoes and to leave some for the others. Prime dish, totally standard still
