Have made these since I was a child and taught by my mother; she actually soaked bread in milk and worked into the meat mixture, then fried in lard. Yummy! My father ate them cold out of the fridge with mustard on them……I now make them every Christmas for Lil Jul Aftne.

Hi Theresa: I haven’t had frikadeller since we were in Germany 25 years ago.
Thanks for the recipe and the for the memories it triggered.

Dreamed last night about my one and only experience with Frikadeller. (So got on the internet today to look them up.) Had them for dinner one night on a bike trip through Denmark and was violently ill for the next 24 hours. They did taste good, but not worth the end result!!

Sid,

I think my (actually my Mom’s) recipe for frikadeller stems from my father’s refusal to eat ground pork (weird, I know). She always used half beef to disguise the pork! He came around to liking ground pork in later life, but Mom’s modified recipe stuck. Theresa

You make your frikadeller a little differently from mine. I only use ground pork, and I fry them with a little olive oil and butter mixed together, mom always used margarine, which is something I never buy. But you’re right, they’re good hot or cold, I always make a double recipe since they also freeze very nicely.

Oh I see you have a Danish Frikadeller recipe. I use only ground pork in mine and fry them up using cooking spray. The ground pork already contains alot of fat and they get nice and crisp on the outside. My mother always used alot of margarine as well.

I love meat balls, they are great for all kinds of reasons (appetizers, in sauces, etc.) and this is the basic way that my family and I start with ours. We love to add in extra stuff like herbs and spices to change it up every now and then :D

Are these similar to the Swedish Meatballs? We have something very similar in Bulgaria called Kufte, which have bread and traditional spices. These look great.
