About the dish

Panerte og friterte potetruletter fra Erken og Caroline Steens «Kogebog for skole og hjem» (1900). Beslektet med kroketter, men panert i kavring og eggehvite.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Make the potato mass

    Rub boiled, cold potatoes through a sieve. Stir in the melted butter, the egg yolks and nutmeg.

  2. 2

    Shape and bread

    Roll the mass into not-too-large balls. Coat them first in ground rusk crumbs, then in half-beaten egg white, and finally in rusk crumbs again.

  3. 3

    Deep-fry

    Cook the roulettes light brown in the lard pot (deep-frying fat).

Changes from the original

«1 l. kokte, kolde poteter» er et volummål for most potet. «kavring» er forklart som kavringrasp/rasp. Frityr i smult kan erstattes av olje i moderne kjøkken.

Frequently asked questions

What is meant by "rusk"?
Rusk is dried, ground bread – that is, crumbs. The roulettes are coated in ground rusk crumbs before and after the egg white.
Why half-beaten egg white?
Lightly beaten egg white becomes a little tacky and clings well to the crumbs, so the breading stays on during frying.
