For me, it's kompe. It's a dish that's eaten in southern Norway, which consists of a little ball of salt pork surrounded by a potato dumpling. As the dumping is boiled, the flavor of the pork spreads through the potato, and it's a way to make a very poor meal feel like much more.

Most often eaten with butter, sugar, and lingonberry jam, I think the leftovers fried up on the second day are the best!

Can I ask about the kompe, what is the potato dumpling made from? Potato flour or is it made from mash? It looks pretty delicious, especially fried

It's made with finely shredded potato and a mix of potato and regular flour. It's actually best made with shriveled old potatoes, as they've lost a lot of their water, which makes the dumpling hold better.
