/lojrom-raraka-rodlok/ A Food Blogging American cooking in Sweden! (En amerikansk matbloggare i Sverige!)

I’m now hiring things out now and we’ve had a professional handyman in for this past week doing things I can’t or don’t want to do anymore. But, I’m not looking forward to seeing his bill next week. Ikea or the Swedish church as we call it over this way is a good first stop when looking for Scandinavian foodstuffs.

Last year during the middle of the winter, the significant other decided to stone in the fireplace and cut the stone in the middle of the living room. Have we mentioned the dust! OMG! Be good to yourself and hire that stuff out. We completely forgot about Ikea for getting some of your ingredients. That is brilliant, will have to check that out. Hope you are doing well. Take Care

Löjrom, råraka, rödlök, & crème fraiche would indeed be a grand start to Spring. Thanks for stopping byand commenting.

They say our love for potatoes all started in Southern Peru. They’re said to have 4,000 varieties. I have only been to Peru once and it was all business and wasn’t able to enjoy the culture.
If you make it to Ecuador make sure and try a Llapingachos which is there take on a great potato pancake/croquette type dish. Safe travels Pauline and have some potatoes for me.

The big difference between the latkes and the råraka is that the råraka is just potatoes and doesn’t have any matzo meal or egg in it. However, coming up in my next post we’ll be cooking up another Swedish potato dish that you might recognize. Oh, cold-smoked salmon works just fine in this dish, as a matter of fact, that’s what we had for dinner last night.

A quick response from Peru where we are touring and it’s lovely to read your post. I adore hash browns so I should make your dish one day. There are multiple varieties of potatoes in Peru and lots of corn but haven’t seen raraka here. Doubt I would. Cheers, Pauline

I thought it was funny (and could relate) when you took longer than expected. The potato dish looks wonderful too and reminds me somewhat of Jewish latkes. I never heard about those fish eggs from the U.S. that are less expensive, but what a great alternative. I too, however, would vote for the salmon with the potato dish. Looking forward to reading about the potato in Sweden.
