How to make Frikadeller. Denmark’s traditional food. It’s my danish husbands favorite among others.

ground pork

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground turkey is lower in fat and calories.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Oats provide fiber and are often more affordable.

Mix ground pork and ground beef in a large bowl.

Finely chop onion and add to the meat mixture.

Add egg, bread crumbs, and milk to the bowl.

Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg; mix until combined.

Form the mixture into patties, about the size of your palm.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted.

Fry the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain potatoes and mash with butter and milk until creamy.

Serve frikadeller with mashed potatoes and gravy, garnished with parsley.
