Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 -5 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup fine breadcrumbs (unseasoned)
3/4-1 1/4 cup milk, divided
2 cold boiled potatoes, mashed
8 ounces ground beef
8 ounces ground pork
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon allspice

Steps:

  • In a skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter, heating until melted and just starting to brown. Add onion to skillet, saute until onion is golden.
  • To the bread crumbs, add 2 Tbsp milk to moisten.
  • In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, egg. Add onion, mashed potatoes, and moistened breadcrumbs. Add spices (salt, pepper, allspice). Add remaining milk a little at a time; stop before the mixture gets gloppy. If the meat mixture gets too gooey to form nice, neat meatballs, add a more breadcrumbs.
  • Use a pair of spoons rinsed in water and shape the meat mixture into small round balls.
  • In a large skillet, heat remaining butter over medium heat. Add meatballs to skillet, being careful not to crowd the pan. Shake periodically so that the meatballs don't develop flat spots. Cook until meatballs are done through.

SWEDISH MEATBALLS (KOTTBULLAR)



Swedish Meatballs (Kottbullar) image

A genuine, and one of the most quoted Swedish recipes for meatballs. With a few variations, it is found in almost every Swedish cookbook. This variety of meatballs is always served hot, with cream sauce and mashed potatoes, in contrary to the small ones served cold that one finds on the Smorgasbord. At Christmas, some Swedes like a little "Christmas touch" and add a little allspice and ginger. If you're really ambitious, you'll buy whole meat and grind it yourself. It makes a great difference!
