Beef croquette (or ”Järpar” in Swedish) is a common autumn dish in Scandinavia. Traditionally you use ground beef, but it’s also very common with lamb, veal or chicken. When you grow up in Sweden, I’m 100% sure you have been served Beef croquettes for lunch in school. We normally serve the croquettes with mashed potatoes, [...]
This is a typical Scandinavian dish for a weekday dinner because it is easy and quick to prepare, but also delicious and elegant for a weekend dinner. The butter fried chopped egg and shrimps are just so good together with a perfect fried cod (or an other preferred white fish such as halibut or Mahi [...]
This is a favorite fish meal for me. The salty bacon and the sun dried tomatoes add so much flavor to this dish. The potatoes are just pressed through a potatoes presser normally used when making mashed potatoes. But here, you get an airy, light potato dish which is delicious with some caramelized butter giving [...]
Another fish meal. 😉 I just keep them coming because I love them. This is a twisted potato to it - a crispy smashed potato. That means, I boil them for 10minutes, then I smashed them with a wooden spoon, place them on an oven tray and roast them in the oven with olive oil, [...]
We eat a lot of potatoes during the summer. I love simple boil summer potatoes, but then preferable with herring, sour cream and chive. Otherwise I like to make something else out of the potatoes. To roast them, or a gratin or mashed potatoes. This dish is a simple dish with roasted potatoes, carrots and [...]
This is a perfect summer dish and reminds me a lot of Swedish summer with traditional Swedish "färsk potatis" (the special summer potatoes). I have roasted the potatoes in butter, garlic and fresh rosemary from my garden. The drumsticks are marinated with a rosemary and oregano marinade, which gets the saltiness from soy sauce and [...]
This is Scandinavia! Salmon and dill sauce. We love it and we eat it often in many different combinations. I have made an oven-baked salmon with a layer of dill, crispy potato wedges with olive oil and sea salt and a creamy dill sauce with added flavor and texture from pickles. You have to try [...]
Potato salad is a very common side dish in Sweden. Most often it's part of the bbq dinner in the summer. This is perfect to prepare if you have some left over potatoes from last night's dinner. This is a creamy salad with crispiness and taste from onion, capers and dill. I decided to serve [...]
Mini potatoes grilled in the oven - such a simple side dish, typical Scandinavian, and the potatoes can be flavored just as you want them. I flavored with thyme and lemon this time which give a fresh and rich flavor. The thyme has an earthy, a bit sweet and at the same time a slightly [...]
Potato gratin is a very traditional side dish in Scandinavia. It has for a long time been seen as a luxury side dish for a Saturday dinner. It's so simply but every time I eat it or serve it to friends, I am almost surprised how good it really taste. Enjoy! Ingredients (4 pers.): 2 [...]
