Ingredients

Raggmunkar (Potato Pancakes)

  • 800 g firm potatoes
  • 250 ml wheat flour (2½ dl)
  • 400 ml plant-based milk (4 dl)
  • 5 tbsp chickpea aquafaba (75 ml)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • vegan butter for cooking

Fejkon (Vegan Bacon)

  • 2 packages smoked tofu or marinated tofu (140 g each or 400 g total)
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce (30 ml)
  • 2 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1 tsp agave syrup or sugar
  • 2 tbsp rapeseed oil (30 ml)

Rårörda Lingon (Raw Stirred Lingonberries)

  • 300 ml fresh or frozen lingonberries (3 dl)
  • 100 ml sugar (1 dl)

Instructions

Prepare the Vegan Bacon

  1. Press tofu wrapped in paper towels for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  2. Slice tofu thinly.
  3. Marinate in soy sauce, liquid smoke, syrup, and oil for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Cook in heated pan until marinade absorbs and tofu becomes crispy with good color.

Make the Lingonberry Sauce

  1. Combine berries and sugar in a bowl.
  2. Mash with a fork until sugar dissolves.
  3. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. If using frozen berries, warm slightly before mashing.

Make the Potato Pancakes

  1. Combine flour, plant milk, salt, and aquafaba in a bowl and let rest.
  2. Peel and grate potatoes directly into the batter.
  3. Heat vegan butter in a pan over medium heat.
  4. Pour approximately 50 ml (½ dl) batter per pancake into the pan.
  5. Flatten with a spatula to prevent clumping.
  6. Fry until cooked through and golden on both sides.
  7. Allow to cool briefly before serving for better texture consistency.

Assembly

  1. Serve raggmunkar warm with crispy vegan bacon and raw stirred lingonberries on the side.

Notes

Potato type: Use firm, starchy potatoes for best texture. Grate directly into batter to prevent oxidation.

Aquafaba: The liquid from canned chickpeas acts as an egg replacer and helps bind the pancakes.

Make-ahead: The vegan bacon can be marinated ahead of time. The pancakes are best served fresh but can be reheated in a pan.
