Kroppkakor
Swedish cooked-potato dumplings filled with salted pork, onion and allspice, with butter and lingonberries.

About Kroppkakor
Arla presents Karolina Sparring’s kroppkakor as a classic Småland rendition. These rounded, slightly flattened potato dumplings have a filling of salted pork, yellow onion and allspice.
Wheat flour and egg give the cooked-potato dough its body. The savoury pork filling contrasts with the sweet-tart lingonberries and the richness of butter around the dumplings.
The published serving is warm, with browned butter and raw-stirred lingonberries alongside. Cold, unwhipped cream is an additional serving suggestion alongside the filled potato dumplings.
