Frikadeller (Danish Meatballs)
Frikadeller Having a Danish mother I have eaten more than my fair share of Frikadeller, but you never tire of them as they are so delicious. I had about three different versions of this recipe in my box all passed on from my mother. In the past I’ve just used a whole egg in the…
