Ingredients
- Ground veal
- 1 pound
- Heavy cream
- 1/2 cup
- Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup
- Egg yolks
- 2
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Butter
- 3 tablespoons
- Lingonberry sauce
- 1 cup
- Potatoes
- 2 pounds (for mashed potatoes)
- Milk
- 1/2 cup (for mashed potatoes)
- Salt
- to taste (for mashed potatoes)
- Butter

Instructions
- Begin by preparing the mashed potatoes. Peel and chop the potatoes into uniform pieces. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk, then mash until creamy and smooth. Season with salt to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground veal, heavy cream, breadcrumbs, egg yolks, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into oval-shaped patties, about 1 inch thick.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the patties are cooking, gently heat the lingonberry sauce in a small saucepan until warmed through.
- To serve, place the creamy mashed potatoes on a plate, top with the Wallenbergare patties, and drizzle with the warm lingonberry sauce.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider adding finely chopped onions or garlic to the veal mixture.
- If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives or ground oats.
- Pair with a side of sautéed greens or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
