Raspeballer - Norway

These dense balls of potato, flour and meat go by many names (raspeballer, klubb, kumle, potetball, etc.) and are basically the Norwegian version of what we call potato dumplings. Made with a combination of grated potatoes, flour and salt, they may also be stuffed with a hunk of salted pork or other meat in the center. After simmering in a broth with fatty cuts of meat, they're usually served with butter and thick diced bacon. In some parts of the country, restaurants serve it as a weekly special on Thursdays. So if you're looking to beat the Norwegian winter with food, this looks like a good place to start.
