Recipes Cuisine European Scandinavian Frikadeller (Danish Meatballs) 4.5 (30) 26 Reviews 7 Photos This frikadeller recipe comes straight from my mother-in-law in Denmark. It's a little labor-intensive, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be addicted! Serve these meatballs warm with a brown sauce, small boiled red potatoes, and sweet and sour cabbage. Better still, double the batch and slice the leftovers for an open-faced toast sandwich with mayonnaise the next day in true Scandinavian fashion!

Stir in milk, onion, and egg. Mix in bread crumbs, then flour; knead well to mix. Mix in seltzer water, salt, and pepper until well combined. The mixture should be very moist, but not dripping. Cover and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes. Form about 2 1/2 tablespoons meat mixture into a slightly flattened, oval meatball about the size of a small egg. Repeat to make remaining meatballs. Melt margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry meatballs in the hot skillet until no longer pink in the center and well browned on the outside, about 15 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
