HOW TO MAKE A SWEDISH TRADITION - PALT

I was eating Palt as I was watching this. I can't spell it the way Grandma pronounced it. Palt is the short name. I won't even try to spell it. My Grandma was from Sweden. She made this for us since I was a baby. It's not for everyone. It is my most favorite comfort food ever. My dad carried on the tradition after my Grandma passed. Always jokes, because Grandma always grated the potatoes by hand. We use a food processor, then a mixer. Dad says Grandma would be turning over in her grave if she knew. I can't peel a potato without thinking of her to this day. She made the best palt, with much love!

Tommy Johansson - 1. Looks like a Viking 2. Sings like an Angel 3. Plays like a God 4. Writes like a Poet 5. AND COOKS! Is there anything you can't do? (besides whistle 😉) Seriously though, the new album and video are EPIC! I'll be making palt this weekend!

[@ReinXeed]

I CAN whistle now! 😉 and I paint as well! Check out the video for ”Glory of Christmas” - it’s all done by me 😅

[@elizabethluman9784]

Glory of Christmas is incredible!! You truly are a master of all things you do (and I'm not at all surprised that you can now whistle). Thanks for taking the time to respond to my comment.

It certainly does look yummy, the Palt doesn't look half bad either 😋😁♥️♥️

[@dejanvrabel]

Palt or in my league Knedle But never try with ham

[@CJ-bz9lz]

My Grandma immigrated to Canada as a child. Palt was one of the delicious Swedish meals she would make us. Often she would just make them flat and round, without the meat in the middle, knowing we liked them best the next day fried in butter. She had a food grinder she would use instead of a grater. Speaking of Swedish pancakes, I can't tell you how disappointed I was to find out the rest of the world called the crepes. Ha! And lutefisk was a favorite at Christmas. Some Palt videos on KZbin show them being made from mashed potatoes. Thanks for making them the right way. God bless your music career too.

[@patrikjhansson6985]

I have tasted this Tommy made Palt. You served it to me and my family as we visited you in Boden couple of yrs ago 🤩👍🏼

[@Jonsson474]

Ok I’m going to get nerdy here since this is part of my culture. Palt is a type of Swedish potato dumpling you could say. There are different variations of potato dumplings all over central and Northern Europe. Even in Sweden there are many different variations. Different types and combinations of flour and meats. Sometimes there is no meats. Even the shape, size and name can differ in different Swedish counties, mainly in northern Sweden. Kroppkaka is also another type of Swedish potato dumpling but made from boiled potato so it’s not classified as palt. What’s unique with Palt is the use of barley flour or rye flour of different amounts, sometimes mixed with wheat flour. Especially in the county of Västerbotten where rye and barley are mixed. In the counties of Jämtland and Medelpad, the dish is traditionally not called palt but Kams.

[@Lathundd]

One of my absolute favorite dishes! The day-after frying of palt is just heavenly. One thing that my mom (and grandmother before her) used to do differently to the video was to first fry the pork (and more finely chopped) in a pan with some chopped onion before making the balls. Feels like it brings out the taste even more. Also gotta say how devious of you it is to not warn about the "paltkoma" at all!

[@bradleysmeltzer6696]

This is something I grew up on! Living in Northwestern Ontario, Canada, we have a LOT of Scandinavians here as our climate is almost identical. BEST STUFF EVER!

[@theameric]

I ate this so many times with my Grandma, but just yesterday I found the name in Swedish and realized the origin. Jag studerar svenska nu och lär mig om min släkthistoria. We always called them potato balls. As much as I loved them freshly cooked, having them cut up and fried in the morning was one of the magical memories of my childhood. Just seeing them in the pan in the video made my day. Tack så mycket!

[@elenaescocia2479]

Ok so I made these tonight for dinner! I used bacon lardons in my palt! I probably didn’t make them as good as Tommy does! But I have to say these were really good & so tasty! I can see why they are comfort food! The sweetness of the lingonberry jam & the saltiness of the bacon is a yummy combination! I will definitely make again! Thank you for the recipe Tommy! ❤

[@sarahberry4389]

I'm so trying this weekend... I'm a cook and baker and love trying new dishes...I'm from the United States...state of Ohio❤

[@02sweden]

Palt is one of my favorite dishes. You can also make "flatpalt", that is the vegetarian alternative, without salted pork or bacon, just the flour, potatoes and salt, but served with a lot of extrasalted butter.

[@scottoberg3708]

Palt was a Christmas tradition in our family as long as I can remember here in western Canada. My great-great grandparents brought it with them when they emmigrated from the Vasterbotten region in the late 1800s. I haven't had it for years, my grandmother was the last to make it before she passed away a decade ago. I think it's time to revive the tradition. I even have some Lingonberry jam to go with it.

[@raquelmiranda3477]

I love tasting all different kind of foods from different countries. So, I'm down with Swedish dishes. Bring it on more of them!!!

[@idoda10]

We eat this a lot in Norway too, but never tried making them myself! Looks delicious! 😄 It has a hundred names here but I'm used to potetball, so basicly Potato Ball, describing enough I guess 😅

[@ReinXeed]

Potato ball - there we go! ☺️

[@fissummusic]

Klubb, is a name fom Trøndelag

[@KHTangent]

Potetball is a very descriptive name. We usually call it kompe in southern Norway. I've also seen many people eat it with sugar (with the salted meat in the middle and all)

[@phillee2814]

I wonder if "palt" is a contraction/corruption of "Potetball"? I'm always interested in the origin of words and how they move between languages, particularly as borders change over the centuries. That may come from being English, as we have had the ebb and flow of so many different cultures - Celtic->Latin->Norse/Germanic->Viking Norse->Norman French and then we picked up a few words from around the world in the days of empire, so now English is sort of a muddle of all of them. It is particularly evident in old place names, but food is another area. For example, only the rich (lords, so norman) could afford to eat pig, cow, or sheep so we use a corruption of the french for those (pork, beef and mutton) but for smaller animals, the name for the meat comes from the Angle, Saxon or Celtic root. The correct pronunciation of some placenames is so obscure that many locals don't even know them properly!

[@monahansen8760]

Or i call it Komle also from Norway.

[@Robert-vv6tz]

I absolutely love your music and watch your videos all the time. But please, if you like to cook I would love to see at least a few more cooking videos. Your Palt video was very entertaining and delicious too.

[@Isabelle.Emerit]

What a surprise this friday to discover not a song video but a recipe of the Tommy cook... So great !! It's sure that i will try to cook very soon your famous "pAlt" (with a big A in French for the pronunciation 😉...), hoping that i sucess to peeling potatoes as fast you 😋... "Un grand MERCI Tommy"... for your humour and your huge talent. BRAVO for the new Sabaton's album ! All the Best for you. 🇨🇵

[@Shebeawolf2]

I will have to try your Palt. Sounds really good. In my area of the US, we call them 'potato pancakes'. Shredded potatoes with minced meats mixed in, made into patties & fried. I watched an interview you did when you had to whistle to get your gift & it was palt. Your joy & excitement of receiving palt made for you was so wonderful to watch! Thanks for sharing this Swedish dish!❤

[@nataliemorton5568]

I am one of your newer, but VERY devoted fans. I keep trying to analyze you, to figure out what makes it impossible to just listen to you. I have to stop doing anything else because you have a very intriguing charm that requires a visual of you. Your unabashed engagement with the camera, i.e. audience, and all of your quirky facial expressions, together with your slight accent is like a humongous magnet. I am thrilled that I now "know you" through your videos, and I hope to see you in concert one day. My diet does not allow for even one ingredient of Palt! If I ever come to visit Sweden, I will be sure to order it and have one bite. 😋 I will watch any recipe you want to share. Loved it! 😁👌

[@fairyflykisses]

I always try to cook or bake something new when I get home off the road, palt is now next on the list. I can't wait to try it! Thank you Tommy for the wonderful video.

[@panzerelli]

I tried it on Friday and I totally love it! Can’t wait to try it again, maybe with some other toppings hehe

[@dokoupilova4]

In the Czech Republic, this recipe is called stuffed potato dumplings with smoked meat. We eat dumplings with sauerkraut and fried onions. Another variant(It's a potato-free dough similar to a pizza dough): fruit filling, sugar, cottage cheese Fried dumplings too, but with scrambled eggs together.

[@zarahmb1711]

This looks so good! Looks a little bit like the Zeppelinas from Lithuania, like my mother does them = filled with minced meat. Also great: Königsberger Klopse = just minced meat and the potatoes extra, like my granny did them. I should ask my Ma about a Palt party, there are never enough dumplings in this world!!!

[@serenavitto8077]

I am very fascinated by Swedish cuisine, tomorrow I want to try cooking Palt. I think it will be very welcome here in Italy too

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

we have a similar thing in italy called "potato balls" or something like that. we done them with or without jam and we use mostly cheese instead of butter. but after seeing this "palt" i have to try it out, they look delicius. (and i basically love everything with potato in it lol)

[@nonnie_loest]

This sounds absolutely amazing 😍🤩 I love potatoes and pork and bacon so yyyyeeessss I plan on making palt in your honor 😁 the day after looks like what I would call "home fries" or "hash browns". I am hungry just watching!😁 Love to hear about Swedish history too. You're one of the most patriotic guys I know 😁😅

Lefse is the best thing that ever came out of Norway. I grew up close to the border and my grandmother taught me how to make them from a young age. Served with butter, sugar and cinnamon yum. From Sweden!

You don’t have to live in Boden to make palt, that’s the beauty of it 😉

[@aslakki6861]

@@ReinXeed yep, and if I remember it right, in those days, Piteå was more known as palt town in northern sweden, even though it's a well known dish just about everywhere in norrbotten. And from know on Im gonna spread the good word of palt even here in Finland too
