Preparation:

1. Soak bread in water for a few minutes, then squeeze out as much water as you can.
2. Chop shallot or onion and parsley finely.
3. Mix all ingredients thoroughly with your hands in a large bowl.
4. Salt and pepper to taste.
5. Form 6-8 evenly sized balls, then press them down slightly to flatten a little.
6. Smooth into even looking patties.
7. Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick fry pan to medium high.
8. Fry the patties for 4-minutes until browned and crisp.
9. Turn and fry for another 4-5 Minutes until cooked through and crisp.
10. Place on a paper towel to absorb access oil and serve.

I like these hot or cold on a fresh bun with any burger style toppings, but they eat beautifully as a meat, accompanied by potatoes and a vegetable.

Boiled potatoes with crisp onion topping and carrots and peas together with Frikadellen used to be a highlight in my grandma’s kitchen 🙂

Left over Frikadellen were devoured the day after as my school lunch on a sandwich. YUMMMM!
