Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 500 grams Potatoes (waxy variety)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 300 grams Pork belly (or thick-cut bacon)
- 100 grams Lingonberry jam (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg, and salt until a smooth batter forms. Set aside.
Peel the potatoes and grate them coarsely using a box grater or food processor. Squeeze out excess moisture by placing the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and wringing them out tightly.
Fold the grated potatoes into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
Spoon a ladleful of the potato batter into the pan to make a pancake, spreading it out thinly with the back of the spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
In a separate skillet, fry the pork belly or thick-cut bacon over medium heat until crispy and golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.
Serve the potato pancakes warm with the fried pork belly on the side. Optionally, add a dollop of lingonberry jam and garnish with fresh parsley for a classic Swedish touch.
