Frikadellen

Ingredients

Ground beef

1 pound

Onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Breadcrumbs

1/2 cup

Egg

1, beaten

Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons

Fresh parsley

2 tablespoons, chopped

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Vegetable oil

3 tablespoons (for frying)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
2. Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
3. Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
4. Carefully place the patties in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a golden brown crust and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
5. Once cooked, transfer the frikadellen to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as sauerkraut, creamy mashed potatoes, or tucked into a bun with your favorite toppings.
