Directions
Frikadeller is an easy, Danish dish that is eaten as street food or consumed in pubs by locals. It is a minced pork meatball with eggs, finely chopped onions, milk, and bread crumbs. The mix is shaped into golf ball-sized balls and fried in butter until golden brown. They are often served with boiled or mashed potatoes, and a gravy made from pan juices poured over the top. The meatballs are often served with a bunch of toppings that can be added as you like it… gherkin, pickled cucumber, pickled red cabbage, buns or cold potato salad.
Preparation:
