Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 300 milliliters Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 100 grams Lingonberry jam
- 100 grams Bacon (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, and egg until you achieve a smooth batter.
Peel and grate the potatoes finely using a box grater or a food processor. Transfer the grated potatoes onto a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Add the grated potatoes to the batter, along with the salt. Mix until well-combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small knob of butter.
Pour a small ladleful (approximately 1/4 cup) of the batter into the pan and spread it out into a thin pancake shape using the back of a spoon.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the edges are crisp and golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed between batches.
If desired, cook the bacon in a separate skillet until crispy, then set aside.
Serve the Raggmunk immediately with a dollop of lingonberry jam on the side. Add crispy bacon for a traditional Swedish experience.
