SWEDISH BEEF PATTIES (another family recipe)

on

This is one of the most typical Swedish comfort food dishes. In Swedish we call this type of home cooking "husmanskost". The traditional dish is called "pannbiff med lök" (beef patties with onion or onion sauce). However, I did not make the onion sauce this time, because I decided to make recipetineats.com's Potatoes au Gratin (Dauphinoise) and it doesn't disappoint! But don't worry, I will include the onion sauce recipe here below for those who would like to eat this dish the traditional way. There is a Danish version of this dish which I love! It's called "hakkebøf". So if you ever decide to visit Denmark, make sure you find a restaurant that serves it.

Enjoy! 💗Helena
