The old woman uses several "ikea" copy cat recipes.
I say several because she never remembers which one and uses a different one each time it seems.
I am MAGA.

meat balls are about the easiest thing you can throw together.

đThey may be easy to throw together, but damn if it ainât easy, or at least common, to turn out a mediocre meatball.
I canât help much with the Swedish variations except that several of the recipes Iâve made included oats or potatoes. Never had one of that variety that I thought was better than a good old Italian style with a healthy dose of parmesan and parsley. Maybe go 50/50 beef and pork with some potato flake or oats for a binder along with the bread crumb and a bit of milk and egg. Leave out the parm. Lightly brown and finish in the oven before taking the balls out and making the sauce in the pan.
My favorites, no matter the national origin, always include a health amount of ground pork. Lean meatballs ainât worth a schit.

The secret is Angostura bitters. Trust me on this.

My Swedish grandmother's recipe.
A couple of modern day notes:
We make them about the size of a ping-pong ball, maybe slightly smaller.
I think this recipe has too much onion. Actually, I think the recipe is probably fine for a 1930's large onion, but in 2000 standards, it's a small onion.
I now do them with ground game meat and a bit of added ground veal. They cook faster with lower fat. I figure in the old country these were made with moose and caribou anyway.
2 # fresh ham or pork 1 # beef 1 cup mashed potatoes 1 cup dry bread crumbs 1 tsp brown sugar 1 cup milk Ÿ tsp ginger 1/8 tsp nutmeg Ÿ tsp cloves Ÿ tsp allspice 1 ½ tsp salt 1 tsp potato flour ½ tsp pepper 1 large onion
Mix ingredients, and roll into balls, put in flat pan with sides, and bake at 350 for 1 ½ - 2 hours.
