Raggmunk is the name for a Swedish potato pancake. The pancakes are fried in butter and served with fried pork and lingonberries. They cannot be made using new potatoes, since potatoes that are harvested in early summer do not contain enough starch to hold the pancake together.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 90 g (3 ¼ oz) wheat flour
- 300 ml (1½ cup) milk
- 2 tsp salt
- 800 g (28 oz) potatoes
- 50 g (2 oz) butter
- 400–500 g (14–18 oz) salt pork
- raw stirred lingonberries
Instructions
- Make a pancake batter using the egg, flour and milk. Add salt.
- Peel the potatoes and grate them.
- Mix in, then fry small patties of the potato pancake batter in butter until golden brown on both sides.
- Fry the pork until crunchy.
- Serve with raw stirred lingonberries.
