Hello Everybody, how are we all?

Here is a Swedish Recipe for you to try 🍄🌰🍹

🇸🇪 Pitepalt

The name palt refers to different varieties of popular Swedish dumplings that are created with grated raw potatoes and various fillings. They are usually associated with the north of Sweden and are commonly referred to as pitepalt, after the city of Piteå, where they are a traditional specialty. It is said there are as many palt varieties as there are villages in Sweden, and one of the most intriguing varieties is called blodpalt, which incorporates animal blood.

Ready in: 1h 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

Dough:

10-12 Potatoes, about 1½ kilos
1 tbsp. Salt plus more for the boiling water
400 Grams Flour
300 Grams Bacon or Salted Pork
Butter and Lingonberry (Cowberry) Jam for serving

1. Cut the pork into small dices.

2. Fill a very large pot with water and bring it to the boil while you make the batter for the palt. Salt the water with a ratio of almost 1 tbsp. per liter water.

3. Peel the potatoes and grate it. Squeeze out the excess liquid from the grated potatoes.

4. Add 1 tbsp. salt and almost all of flour, and combine it to a dough. Depending on the amount of potatoes and how wet they are, you may need a little more or less flour than the amount in the recipe. The dough should be firm, but sticky.

5. Add flour to your hands and grab some dough to form your dumpling. It should be a little smaller than a tennis ball in size. Push down with two fingers in the middle of the dumpling, to make room for the pork or bacon. Add about a tablespoon of the raw meat in the hole you made. Carefully bring the dough around it. Close it with your fingers and roll the dumpling to a ball. Alternatively, you can skip the hole and serve the meat separately fried on the side.

6. Add the dumplings to the boiling water immediately after you finish forming them, as they don't hold their shape if you place them on a plate or a board.

7. Once all the dumplings are added, carefully stir occasionally and boil for 45 minutes.

8. Serve with butter and lingonberry jam. Leftover palt can be diced up in cubes and fried in butter another day.
