strongly dislike them all. However, many have asked for
recipes. "Kroppkakor" is especially popular on "Öland", a
Baltic Sea island just outside the Swedish east coast.
Ingredients:
· 1 kg cooked potatoes
· 2 egg yolks
· 300 ml all purpose
flour
· 1 onion
· 100 g smoked ham
· 100 g bacon
· salt, pepper
Proceed as follows:
1. Mash the potatoes. Put it on a breadboard and make a
small pit in the middle.
2. Put eggs, flour and salt in the pit and work the potatodough
fast together. Too much kneading makes the
potato tough.
3. Chop finely the onion, cut the bacon and ham into small
pieces and fry it until it gets coloured. Flavour it with
white pepper.
4. Form the potato-dough to a thick roll. Cut it in thick
slices and put a pile of bacon mix in a pit in a slice, then
put another slice on top of it, press the edges together
and roll it to a ball.
5. 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.
6. Serve hot with melted butter and red whortleberry
(lingonberry) jam or cranberry jam.
Serve together with clarified butter and lingonberry jam.
