What are Frikadellen?
Frikadellen, often called German meat patties, are a traditional dish made with a mix of ground beef and pork, onions, breadcrumbs, eggs, and flavorful seasonings.
Unlike American hamburgers, Frikadellen are served without a bun, letting the savory flavors shine. They’re pan-fried until golden and crispy on the outside but stay tender and juicy inside.
A favorite comfort food in Germany, they’re usually enjoyed with mustard, potatoes, or a fresh salad. Rustic, filling, and full of flavor, Frikadellen are a true German classic!
