Swedish Meatballs
4-5 Servings
400 g ground meat
4 tbsp unsweetened bread crumbs or ¾ oats
1 tbsp potatoe flour
1 ½ dl milk, cream, or water
1 ½ tsp
1 egg
Pinch of black pepper
1 tbsp shredded yellow onion or 2 tbsp finely chopped, fried onion
2-3 tbsp margarine or butter

Sauce
3 dl gravy (from frying the meat)
1-2 meat boullion cubes
2 tbsp flour
1 dl milk or water
1 tsp soy sauce
3 tbsp cream

1.) Mix the bread crumbs (or the oats) and the potatoe flour with the milk (or cream or water). Let sit for at least 10 minutes to swell up.
2.) Add the above mixture to a bowl containing the meat and salt. Mix well.
3.) Stir down the egg, the pepper, and the onion. Stir well, but not for too long or the meat will turn chewy.
4.) Shape equal sized balls with the meat mixture. Put them on a cutting board washed in water.
5.) Melt the margarine in a fairly large pan. Fry the balls, no more than 10 at a time.
6.) Lower the heat and let the balls fry for 3-5 minutes depending on the size of them. Do not pour out the gravy.
7.) Mix the gravy with a few tablespoons of warm water. Pour the gravy into a pot and add the boullion cube(s).
8.) Mix the flour with milk or water. Add the mix to the pot with the gravy.
9.) Boil for 3-5 minutes. Flavour it with soy sauce and cream.
10.) Put the meatballs in the sauce and warm it all up together.
11.) Meatballs are good to eat with mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, or elbow macaroni.
