Traditional Swedish ways to serve meatballs are accompanied by potatoes or mashed potatoes, gravy, pickled cucumber and lingonberry jam. Meatballs can also be served with spaghetti or macaroni and additionally used as sandwich spread, often along with beetroot salad.
The meatballs are small balls of minced meat, for example beef, pork and lamb. The batter is usually mixed with eggs and milk, bread crumbs, potato flour or oatmeal. They often include onions, which you tear down into the batter. Seasoning can consist of salt, allspice and sometimes cinnamon. The buns are fried in shortening into bite-hot frying pan and turned gradually to get color all around. Greater amount of meatballs can be roasted in the oven roasting pan, which is more comfortable and reduces odors in the kitchen.
