👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
In a bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Do not overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough. - 2
Shape the mixture into round meatballs, about 5-6 cm in diameter. You should get about 10-12 meatballs.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking. - 3
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Once browned, reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the meatballs simmer until cooked through. Alternatively, transfer browned meatballs to a baking dish and finish cooking in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15-20 minutes.

While the meatballs are cooking, peel and boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and set aside.

To make the brown gravy, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Cook the roux until it turns a light golden brown to develop flavor. - 7
Gradually whisk in the beef broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens.

Stir in cream if using, and season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste. If there are pan drippings from cooking the meatballs, you can add them to the gravy for extra flavor.

Serve the kjøttkaker hot with the brown gravy, boiled potatoes, and a side of lingonberry jam.
