Traditional Swedish Raggmunk with Lingonberry Jam and Sour Cream

Raggmunk, a traditional Swedish dish, consists of pan-fried potato pancakes filled with bacon and onions, typically served with a side of lingonberry jam and sour cream. This recipe is a twist on the classic, focusing on the combination of flavors and textures that make this dish so beloved. The crispy outside of the potato pancake gives way to a fluffy interior, while the sweetness of the lingonberry jam pairs perfectly with the savory flavor of the bacon and the tang of the sour cream.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Peel and grate the potatoes, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a cheesecloth or paper towels.
2
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, flour, egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
3
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the potato mixture into the pan and flatten slightly.
4
Cook the potato pancake for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture.
5
While the potato pancakes are cooking, cook the bacon in a separate pan until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
6
To assemble the raggmunk, place a cooked potato pancake on a plate, top with a spoonful of lingonberry jam, a dollop of sour cream, and a few pieces of crispy bacon. Garnish with fresh parsley and edible flowers, if desired.
