What side dishes would you serve  with swedish meatballs?

Bevi · Answer

I agree with mashed potatoes and either lingonberries or cranberry sauce or am.  Cathy Barrow has a great recipe you can find online for raspberry cranberry preserves.  That would be delicious as well.

Greenstuff · Answer

I almost always serve small round potatoes and I also often serve Brussels sprouts.  For me, Swedish meatballs are food from my childhood, and those three round balls give me some childish pleasure.  Plus, they're good!  Lingonberries are a must for me.  But the lightly pickled cucumbers that are also traditional, I save for other meals.  (They really don't go with Brussels sprouts!)

My favorite is served with buttered egg noodles.

Rachel · Answer

mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam... substitute some sort of tart jam, like sour cherry or make a cranberry compote if you can't find lingonberries.
