  • Potatoes have been the backbone of Swedish cooking for centuries — the Swedes' staple food. Potato dumplings, incidentally, go by many different names but are eaten all over Sweden, and there are countless recipes for them. They differ so much that sometimes the one thing they share is simply that they're… boiled. And then the arguments start. What flour — wheat or barley? Potatoes boiled or raw? What filling — pork and onion, or mushrooms? And how to serve them: with melted butter, with lingonberries, with mustard? Today we're making potato dumplings with pork (Kroppkakor). Peel the potatoes and boil them. In true tradition, mash them, mixing in the egg yolks and salt. Let the mash rest and cool, then work in the flour. From here, most cooks know the drill: knead the dough and roll it into a log. Everyone knows how to cook the pork too — cut it into small pieces and finely chop the onion. Combine the pork with the onion and pepper and fry them. Now slice the potato log into thick rounds. Press a well into the middle of each and fill it with the pork mixture, then roll each into a ball so the filling ends up right in the center. Time to boil the dumplings! Bring salted water to a boil and cook the dumplings uncovered for five or six minutes. As soon as they float to the surface, lift them out. What to serve them with? This time, let's go with melted butter and… lingonberry jam. These dumplings — which this recipe makes for 4–6 servings — can also be cut in half and fried in butter. Enjoy!
