Svenska Kottbular (Swedish Meatball)

Raise your hand if you never had this meatball when you go to IKEA! And iconic meal from Sweden and actually I never heard of it until we had it IKEA cafeteria many moons ago.

I made mine simple and of course without the linggonberries. I wonder if we could even find it here in Geoje! Instead of boiled potatoes, we had it with pasta. Make it simple and  that's the way we like it.
