Shape your Frikadellen patties and lay them onto a floured surface, so they won’t stick. Heat some oil in a pan or on a griddle over medium-high, then add in enough Frikadellen to cover the pan (see note about Test Frikadelle).
oil for frying
Fry for a few minutes without turning until thoroughly browned, turn and repeat, then reduce heat to medium low and continue frying for 10 more minutes or until cooked through. Transfer Frikadellen to a plate lined with paper towel to rest for a few minutes before serving (see note about Leftovers).
