Ingredients

  • 2 lbs potatoes
  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Mix until well combined. 4. Roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. 5. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a bit of oil. 6.

Recipe Tips

To make this recipe gluten-free, you can use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour. You can also use ground chicken or beef instead of pork, or a combination of different meats. If you don't have lingonberry jam, you can substitute it with cranberry sauce or any other type of fruit jam. These meatballs can be frozen for up to 3 months, so you can make a big batch and save some for later. Enjoy!
