{Kartoffelmad Smørrebrød} Potato and Horseradish Open-Face Sandwich Recipe

Served on rye and served open-faced, there are a few classic combos (roast beef and horseradish...schnitzel...) but, being the carb lover I am, my favorite was one served with boiled, sliced potatoes and tons and tons of onion and chive.

It is called the {Kartoffelmad Smørrebrød} Potato and Horseradish Open-Face Sandwich recipe, and I am going to share my carb love with you.
