Two years to the day since this was first posted, just before the stuff hit the fan and Aquavit NYC is still keeping on. Chef Bengtsson keeps it strong and authentic, at least according to Scando-Americans. They provide such a wonderful culinary experience. Amazing fare to be had if you can't make it to Stockholm.

This recipe is bomb! Followed it without making any changes and it was great. It does take time but it’s totally worth it.

Just by the amount of butter she used, I know for a fact that I will fucking love her cooking.

I still can't get over the almost 1:1 ratio of butter to potato, wow! As they say butter makes everything taste better.

The only thing I'd do differently is put a little bit more cream into the breadcrumbs and not use panko but breadcrumbs from stale bread at home, feels more traditional and home for me, but this recipe is still awesome!

Big love from Sweden!

Really traditional. I usually make mine a lot smaller though. The fancier the occasion the smaller the balls get :P

Dishes like this where every component is a pleasure to eat are what I love.

I'm glad you made your NYC dream happen. I'm sure you would be welcome anywhere here in Australia. We have plenty of Italian meatballs available but not too many Swedish outside IKEA. Could be an opportunity to open your own place after covid is done.

Moms Swedish meatballs are still the best. (Same way her mother made them )
Finely grated onion and potato (boiled before) instead of breadcrumbs. Much better flavor. (Other parts are the same, some heavy cream, salt, pepper, and a mix of ground beef and pork), or you can use all pork which makes them super moist (and more unhealthy but still ;>)

Being Swedish I tried most ways to make meatballs but this is still the ones I like the most
