Swedish Potatoes Recipes

KROPPKAKOR - SWEDISH POTATO DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Fry salt pork with onion in a skillet until the salt pork is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Drain fat and set salt pork and onion mixture aside.
• Mix mashed potatoes, egg, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg together in a bowl; stir 1 cup flour into potato mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup flour onto a work surface and turn the dough out onto the flour. Knead the flour on the work surface into the dough.
• Cut dough into 12 equal pieces and roll into balls, dusting your hands and sprinkling work surface with remaining 1/2 cup flour. Press your thumb into each dumpling to make an indentation, and fill with a small amount of salt pork-onion mixture. Pinch the dumplings closed and roll in flour.
• Bring water to a boil in a large pot. If desired, replace half the water with beef broth. Drop dumplings into the boiling water and broth and reduce heat to low. Simmer until cooked through, about 25 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl.

SWEDISH HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Grease rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches.
• Cut potatoes crosswise into 1/8-inch slices, cutting only three-fourths of the way through to bottom. Place cut sides up in dish. Brush with butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake uncovered 1 hour, brushing with butter once or twice. Mix cheese and bread crumbs; sprinkle over potatoes. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake 20 to 30 minutes longer or until tender.

HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Peel the potatoes, and place in bowl of cold water to prevent browning. Place potatoes into a large wooden or metal spoon. Using a sharp knife, make slices across the potato the short way about 1/8 to 1/4 inch apart, making sure to cut down to the lip of the spoon, not all the way through the potato. The slices should stay connected at the bottom, and the spoon helps keep the depth even. Return the potato to the bowl of water, and proceed with the remaining potatoes.
• When all of the potatoes are cut, place them cut side up in a shallow baking dish or small roasting pan. Drizzle with half of the butter, then season with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven, and drizzle with the remaining butter. Sprinkle Romano cheese and bread crumbs onto the tops of the potatoes, and season with a little more salt and pepper. Return to the oven, and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until nicely browned.
