Swedish Meatballs

• Meatballs: 0.7 kg ground beef, 0.3 kg ground pork, 1 onion, 4 anchovy fillets, 2 boiled potatoes, 1 egg yolk, 1.5 tsp salt, pinch of ground black pepper, butter.

Being Swedish this is a dish I absolutely have to know how to make. And I do. The only mildly difficult part is to fry them to that perfectly golden color, and keep them juicy and small...

Mix the: meat, finely cut onion, finely cut anchovies, grated boiled potatoes (I think I used two), the egg yolk... well, everything in the list above, except the butter.

Roll firm little balls, add butter in a pan and fry the meatballs.

The anchovy makes it extra interesting...

Serve with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam (Ikea sells that). It is typically served with a brown cream sauce as well. I make that sauce from the frying juices, stir in cream, soy sauce and a spoon of jelly or lingonberry jam.
