Frikadeller

A Frikadelle is a rounded, flat-bottomed, pan-fried meatball of ground meat, often likened to the German version of meatballs. The origin of the dish is unknown. The term Frikadelle is German, but the dish is associated with German, Nordic, and Eastern European cuisines. They are one of the most popular meals in Poland, where they are known as kotlety mielone (literally "ground cutlets") or regionally sznycle ("schnitzels"). Various local variants of frikadelle are served throughout Scandinavia, as both a main course and a side dish. In Sweden, the word frikadeller refers to meatballs that are boiled, not pan-fried. Varieties of frikadelle are also popular across Ukraine, Russia and other countries within the territories of the former Russian Empire and USSR, where they are referred to as kotlety (cyrillic котлети, котлеты).
