What to serve with Swedish meatballs?
Swedish meatball plates usually come with creamy brown sauce, mashed potatoes, lightly pickled cucumbers, and lingonberry sauce.
I hope you try this recipe. It’s truly one of my favorites. And if you do, please do like the Swedish do and get a little bit of everything in one bite: a meatball, a bit of mash, some gravy, cucumber, and lingonberry. It’ll be like that moment in Ratatouille when Remy gets the fireworks from combining flavors.
Swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes forever,
xoxo steph
