- ½ medium onion, finely minced
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup lingonberry jam or jam (optional, for serving)
- 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
Instructions
- 1
Mix ground pork, minced onion, flour, 1 egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl until just combined. Shape into 12 small patties, each about the size of a golf ball, then flatten slightly.
- 2
Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it foams, about 90 seconds.

Working in batches, place frikadeller in the pan without crowding. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Don't flip until the crust forms.

Transfer cooked frikadeller to a plate. Quickly toss cucumber slices with a pinch of salt and white vinegar in a small bowl.
- 5
Arrange frikadeller on a serving platter. Top or serve alongside lingonberry jam and pickled cucumber slices.
