How to make raggmunk

[frualeydis]

This is what my husband made for dinner. It is old fashioned swedish food and is delicious, but quite high on carbohydrates and fat. It's from the age when people actually did work that involved moving the body ;)

Raggmunk (4 persons):

8-10 normal sized potatoes
2 deciliters wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 liter milk
2 eggs
butter or bacon fat

Peel and grate the potatoes. Mix flour and salt with a little of the milk in a bowl. Make it into an even "dough". Add the rest of the milk and the eggs. Mix and add the grated potatoes, mix again.
Heat a frying pan and fry some bacon. After the bacon is fried take a large spoon of the mix and spread it in the pan, ca 5-7 mm thick, like a thick pancake. Fry it on medium heat.
I alternate between frying bacon and the "pancakes", because frying them in bacon grease gives really good taste. Unless you make a lot of bacon you will probably have to make some in butter too.

Serve with bacon and lingonberry jam

It's getting better. I can't sing, but I guess I can live with that.
As for the recipe, you don't have to have bacon with it, you can fry it in butter and just eat it with jam. That's what I did when i was a vegetarian many years ago.

Or I could use beef mince or lamb chunks instead....

And I'd need to get to the Sweden shop at Ikea because 'm nearly out of lingonberry jam.
