Ingredients

  • potato800 g
  • wheat flour120 g
  • egg1 pcs
  • milk350 ml
  • salt1 tsp
  • bacon400 g
  • butter50 g
  • lingonberry jam120 g

Instructions

1

Whisk the flour, salt and a third of the milk with a whisk until smooth and free of lumps, then pour in the remaining milk and beat in the egg — the batter should be thin, like pancake batter.

2

Peel the potatoes and grate them straight into the batter on a coarse grater right away so they don't discolor, then stir thoroughly until evenly combined.

3

In a dry, preheated skillet, fry the bacon slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until crisp, transfer to a paper towel and cover with foil to keep warm.

4

In the same fat, melt the butter over medium heat and spoon the potato mixture into the pan, shaping thin cakes about 1 cm thick.

5

Fry the raggmunk for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crisp on the outside and the potato is fully cooked through inside; keep the finished pancakes warm.

6

Serve the raggmunk hot with slices of crispy bacon and lingonberry jam — the classic Swedish combination of salty and sweet-and-sour flavors.
