In the same pan, warm corned beef cubes through.
Finely chop 5 beet slices; reserve remaining beets.
Fold the reserved onions, corned beef, chopped beets, and beet juice into the mashed potatoes; season to taste.
Melt 2 teaspoons butter in a non-stick pan and fry 3 eggs, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Divide labskaus onto 3 warmed plates. Top each with a fried egg, rollmops, reserved pickled red beets, and spicy German pickles; serve immediately.
