I know many of you have this question stucked in their mind. Introduced to you by Millencolin's member into the 22th clip from the studio recording, we are a traditional meal from Småland in Sweden. If you wanna try us, read the following instructions:
KROPPKAKOR RECEIPE (Bodycakes receipe)
4-6 portions
Ingredients:
12-14 middle-sized boiled cold potatoes
2 eggs
1-1 1/5 cup of flour (depending on how firm the potatos are)
1 teaspoon salt
Filling:
½ lb. Bacon (or pork, or ham little cubes)
1 middle-sized yellow onion white pepper or allspice (I prefer white pepper)
For boiling:
½ teaspoon salt for each quart of water
Instructions:
Mash the potatoes. Put it on a breadboard and make a small pit in the middle. Put eggs, flour and salt in the pit and work the potato-dough fast together. Too much kneading makes the potato tough.
Chop finely the onion, cut the bacon into small pieces and fry it until it gets coloured. Flavour it with white pepper. Form the potato-dough to a thick roll. Cut it in thick slices and put a pile of bacon mix in a pit in the slice. Put another slice on top of it, press the edges together and roll it to a ball.
Lower the balls in boiling salted water and boil them approx. 10-12 minutes or until they float to the surface. Pick them up with a perforated ladle and put them on a hot serving plate. Don’t boil too many at a time, they will then have some difficulty to float to the surface.
Serve hot with melted butter and red whortleberry jam or cranberry jam (you know the one we use with the turkey at Thanksgiving or Chrismas could do it...yeah..).
Hope you enjoy us!
