Cooking time: 1 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Swedish meatballs like in IKEA? Prepare the ingredients. Despite the large number of ingredients, their composition is very simple and they are all available. To make the meatballs especially juicy, tender and tasty, it is better to use minced pork and beef in equal parts. You can use ready-made minced meat or grind it from meat in a meat grinder yourself.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onion, finely chop with a knife and fry in vegetable oil until golden.

3. STEP 3

   

   In addition to minced meat, to make the finished product juicy, you need to use breadcrumbs and boiled potatoes. Wash, peel, cut into several pieces, boil the potatoes as if mashed in salted water. Drain the water, mash the potatoes, let cool slightly. Place minced meat, potatoes, and onions in a bowl.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add bread crumbs, pour in a little milk, add softened or melted butter and cooled to room temperature and beat in a chicken egg.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix the mixture thoroughly to obtain a uniform consistency of minced meat. Form small meatballs from the prepared minced meat and roll them in breadcrumbs.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat butter and vegetable oil together in a frying pan. Place cooked meatballs on it.

7. STEP 7

   

   Fry them on all sides until golden brown over high heat. Then you need to put them on a baking sheet covered with parchment and bring them to readiness, holding them at a temperature of 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Prepare creamy gravy for meatballs. To do this, put butter in a frying pan, melt it, add wheat flour to the butter and quickly stir the mass so that the flour does not form lumps. Immediately pour in a little water while stirring the mixture. Also pour in the cream, stirring everything again. When the sauce becomes uniform in consistency and thick enough, add spices to taste. Stir and remove from heat.

9. STEP 9

   

   Making lingonberry jam. Wash the berries, put them in a saucepan, mash them, add sugar and a little water, put on the fire, simmer until slightly thickened. Remove the jam from the heat and let cool.

Previously, when I came to Ikea, the first thing I did was go to the cafe to eat a portion of delicious meatballs. Therefore, when I saw a recipe for Swedish meatballs from Ikea, I decided to cook them without hesitation. The result is amazing! Meatballs are simply delicious! They are easy to prepare. I made it for 2 servings. I added an egg, breadcrumbs, grated boiled potatoes, butter, milk, salt and pre-fried onion (I used red onion) to the minced pork. I did not add pepper. I formed small meatballs and fried them in vegetable oil and butter. I did not bread the meatballs. When they were browned, I put them in the oven for 15 minutes (less than in the recipe). I set the temperature to 220° (the temperature is high, but my oven cooks better at this temperature). Meanwhile, I made the cream sauce. It turned out thick and rich. I didn’t make lingonberry jam due to the lack of lingonberries. But it turned out great even without it! I recommend everyone try it! Thanks for the recipe!
