👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Peel and coarsely grate the potatoes, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. This step is crucial for crispy raggmunk.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, flour, and egg until smooth, creating a thin batter. Season the batter with salt and a pinch of white pepper.
3. Add the grated potatoes to the batter and mix well until everything is evenly coated. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and melt a portion of the butter.
4. Pour about 1/2 cup of the potato batter into the hot pan for each pancake, spreading it slightly to form a round shape. Fry for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
5. While the raggmunk are frying, heat a separate pan and fry the sliced smoked pork belly until it's crispy and browned. Drain excess fat if desired.
6. Serve the hot raggmunk immediately with the crispy fried pork belly and a generous dollop of lingonberry jam. Enjoy this classic Swedish comfort food!
