Kroppkakor

Indulge in the comforting flavors of Kroppkakor, a Swedish potato dumpling filled with savory ground pork and onion. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner, these hearty delights are best enjoyed with a dollop of sour cream.

• 500 grams potatoes
• 200 grams pork (ground)
• 1 medium onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 100 grams flour
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon sour cream

Method

1. 1

   Peel and boil the potatoes until soft. Drain and let them cool slightly.

2. 2

   Mash the potatoes in a bowl until smooth. Allow to cool completely.

3. 3

   In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and ground pork, cooking until the meat is browned and the onion is soft. Season with salt. Let the filling cool.

4. 4

   Once the potato mash is cool, mix in flour gradually until you have a dough that is not too sticky.

5. 5

   Divide the dough into equal portions. Flatten each piece in your hand, add a spoonful of the meat filling in the center, and then fold the dough over to enclose the filling. Roll into a ball.

6. 6

   Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the kroppkakor into the water. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they float to the surface.

7. 7

   Remove the kroppkakor from the water with a slotted spoon and drain well.

8. 8

   Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream on the side.
