Directions

  1. Grate the raw apples, place the puree in a clean cloth, and press to extract as much liquid as possible. ≈ 8 min
  2. Add the flour and mashed potato. Mix until a smooth dough forms. ≈ 4 min
  3. Finely chop the onion. Fry the bacon and onion together in a little fat until they are crispy. Add the pepper.
  4. Roll the dough into a sausage shape and cut off pieces. Make a small well in each, fill with bacon and onion, close it up with your fingers, and form into a ball. ≈ 10 min
  5. Cook the kroppkakor in salted water for approximately 40 minutes. This long cooking time is necessary due to the raw potatoes.
