In a food processor or grinder, combine the herring fillets, cooked potatoes, cooked meat, and finely chopped red onion. Process until finely minced or a coarse paste forms. Alternatively, mash the potatoes and finely chop the other ingredients before mixing.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: The texture can be adjusted to preference; some prefer a smoother paste, others a coarser mix. - 3
Add the egg, flour, potato starch, and white pepper to the mixture. Mix well until a cohesive batter forms. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour or potato starch. If too dry, add a tablespoon of milk or water.

Shape the mixture into small, flat patties (bullar), about 1.5-2 cm thick. If desired, coat them lightly in breadcrumbs.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: Flattening the patties ensures they cook evenly. - 5
Heat butter or oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the sillbullar for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

While the patties are frying, prepare the Korintsås. Rinse the currants. In a saucepan, bring the water and broth cube to a boil. Add the currants, sugar, vinegar, and optional soy sauce. Simmer for about 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp of potato starch with 2 tbsp of cold water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk this slurry into the simmering currant sauce until it thickens to your desired consistency. Cook for another minute.
