old norweigan recipe it's either silbal or solbal

[froggy43906]

this recipe has herring , potatoes, flour something something, and you mix it together and make it into balls and boiling them in salt water

Is it sildball? Found a few recipes (like http://www.matoppskrift.no/sider/oppskrift18253.asp) but none in English - hopefully someone comes along and knows more Norwegian than I do! I could make a few educated guesses based on Swedish but not enough of them, I'm afraid.

My friend used to make something called: Pault, or Polt. It was grated raw potatoes, squeezed dry, with a piece of side pork in the middle and boiled. Then sliced and served. Anyone ever hear of that? She was Sweadish. Lotus.
