Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 300 milliliters Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 100 grams Lingonberry jam
- 100 grams Bacon (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, and egg until you achieve a smooth batter.
Step 2
Peel and grate the potatoes finely using a box grater or a food processor. Transfer the grated potatoes onto a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Step 3
Add the grated potatoes to the batter, along with the salt. Mix until well-combined.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small knob of butter.
Step 5
Pour a small ladleful (approximately 1/4 cup) of the batter into the pan and spread it out into a thin pancake shape using the back of a spoon.
Step 6
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the edges are crisp and golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed between batches.
Step 7
If desired, cook the bacon in a separate skillet until crispy, then set aside.
Step 8
Serve the Raggmunk immediately with a dollop of lingonberry jam on the side. Add crispy bacon for a traditional Swedish experience.
