"Midsummer would not be Midsummer without strawberries, and this is a simple Swedish recipe to make, to celebrate Midsummer, wherever you may be!

"Potatis Platter
This is my Aunt Eva's recipe. My kids love these with maple syrup and my Dad asked for them all the time. They are usually a little wet after mixing which makes it easy to "plop" them on a hot griddle and pat them out a bit. Filling and delicious! If you find you are having problems with soggy pancakes, you might..."

"Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. The chef, Helene Henderson, has updated this classic recipe by adding garlic, lemon and parsley.

They often run specials on unusual (to Americans) cheeses, rices, beans, etc. Recently I bought a #5 sack of Swedish Brown Beans, but when a searched Recipezaar -- nothing! However I did find this recipe on SOAR: The Searchable Online Archive of Recipes and tried it that night. It..."
