really easy to make and makes a lot of meatballs. I served mine like it suggested by pairing it with the potatoes and pickled cabbage!

This takes me back to my childhood days (sooo long ago!) when my dad would tell my mom to make some “frikadellers” and I never knew for sure how they were made! Thank you @Piper C for sharing this!!!
