Quick version

Boil the potatoes. Meanwhile, sauté the finely diced onions in a little fat until golden brown. Add the finely chopped corned beef and sauté with the lid on for about 3 minutes. Then add the diced gherkins and a little of the gherkin juice. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and allspice. If desired, add some more diced beetroot. Let everything simmer gently for about 10 minutes. Mash the cooked potatoes a little, but not as finely as for mashed potatoes! Stir in the corned beef mix. If the mixture is too thick, stir in a little more gherkin juice. Serve on a plate. Serve with a fried egg and, if desired, with herring, Bismarck herring, or rollmops.
