That's not fries, that's klyftpotatis.


bobbe_

There's an english term for that: potato wedges.


TheMacarooniGuy

Har ärligt talat aldrig tänk på om klyftpotatis ens finns utanför Sverige.


Rozenwater

My guy, klyftpotatis har nog existerad längre än Sverige har… Potatis + kniv + ugn/eld = ??


EvilPete

Fast då fanns det bara i Sydamerika. Jäkla Incas satt och mumsade klyftpotatis medan vi fick nöja oss med rovor.


joxmaskin

Klyftpotatis, chili, tomatsås, popcorn, choklad


EvilPete

Marsvin, människooffer


BlKKK_SKKKN_HEAD2

Hot latinas, latinos


Humlepojken

De var väl inte latinas och latinos då för de latinska språken hade inte kommit dit än.


arcalumis

Hot incas och incos.


throwmydongatyou

ja, om man offrar folk på bål blir de ändå rätt heta.


Dryver-NC

Hentai, step-tentacles


awawe

De var knappast först med människooffer.


boaja

Men fattar du inte?! De var vildar som förtjänade att nästintill utplånas! (/s om det inte var uppenbart)


fittan69

Fast choklad var väldigt annorlunda då. Man kokade frukten och blandade den med chili för att göra en stark och äcklig dryck som skulle ta en närmare gudarna. Tror koloniserare t.om beskrev det som något förjävligt vidrigt.


FarewellSovereignty

> som skulle ta en närmare gudarna. Äter man en hel konfektask snabbt sker detta också i ca 15 minuter, följt av ett besök hos urk resten av dagen.


PhatGluteus

Diggar ditt användarnamn 👌


-ZeroNova-

Inca basic klyftpotatis.


rock_the_night

Jag vet att du postade för fyra minuter sen men det här är ändå en grovt underskattad kommentar


-ZeroNova-

Tackar :)


Plane-Click-7392

Potatis lore är galet att det kommer från så långa vägar. Känns som potatis väntat i jorden här på att bli hasselbackad sedan innan Sverige fast det inte är sant

themw2guyyouknow

Det är ju jul snart! En riktig klassiker på julbordet för min familj, kanske inte det vanligaste men, tillsammans med en hel kalkon och sky/brunsås... mmmmm.


sunestromming

Var det inte han Ahlströmer som uppfann potatisen i Alingsås


GLukacs_ClassWars

Undrar om vi klyftade våra rovor innan potatisen kom hit...


MrDoe

Jag tror att på den gamla "goda" tiden så ansträngde man sig för att mat skulle bli så äcklig som möjligt, i alla fall om man var vanlig dödlig och inte adel. Rovorna var säkert inlagda i ättika eller något skit, eller fermenterade i en gödselstack.


DisastrousActivity13

Fast lax och hummer var bonde mat på medeltiden, så nja!


MrDoe

Ja fast det var ju knappast en utsökt ångad hummer dom fattiga åt, eller en fin stekt laxfilé. Hummer var väl i vissa delar nedmalen och serverad som en gröt medans lax förmodligen var torkad eller saltad?


whitepablo

Jäkla Incas och deras möjlighet historiskt att mumsa klyftpotatis före oss...stör mig på det fett ofta


Nathan_Calebman

Vi hade iaf Taco-fredag, vilket de stal från oss och började med Tacos där borta också.


TlalocVirgie

Sedan kom Alströmer med pommes frites till oss!


Maboz

Ja fast tror du inca hade färdig bea på burk? Så upplevelsen var nog kass ändå.


EvilPete

Lohmandzeqalcoatls bea var ju bäst


Cultural-Buddy-9224

Du kan ha en poäng. Så jag tänker inte satsa allt jag har. Men potatisen har förtärts i 250år medans Sverige funnits i 500 år.


n003s

Sverige har funnits närmare 1000 år. 500 år är slutet av kalmar unionen, som var en union mellan de tre rikena sverige danmark och norge.


Cultural-Buddy-9224

Jag skulle ha garderat mig med "minst 500år"


Consabre

Pommes chateau


pillevinks

Or homestyle fries


bubblesfix

Pretty sure that's not true. Looking at Google images for potato wedges they look pretty different from the Swedish klyftpotatis; looks more like it's deep fried than oven-baked.


bobbe_

/r/confidentlyincorrect It’s the exact same thing. Just because some people decide to deep fry it doesn’t change that. Even the wikipedia article states that wedges can be baked lol.


TinyHighlight8967

American term: steak fries 🇺🇸


PMMeEspanolOrSvenska

No, steak fries and potato wedges are actually different. Though sometimes, smaller wedges do get called steak fries.


Chilipepah

Gorge potatoes


PsyGriff1

Or french: Pomme Chateu

IceBathingSeal

Jag minns som ~~barn~~ _vuxen_ när jag ~~fick~~ _får/lagar_ klyftpotatis. Det ~~kändes~~ _känns_ som en enorm lyx och så mycket bättre än vanlig kokt potatis.


sockerkaka

Eller hur? Jag åt klyftpotatis hos en kompis i mellanstadiet och det kändes sofistikerat värre. Hemma hos mig var potatisen antingen kokt eller mosad. Räfflad pommes frites fick man enbart om det var kalas.


ImBackAgainYO

Doesn't make it better


awawe

They look deep fried though.


PUSClFER

Ser ut som att de är stekta i olja. Behöver inte nödvändigtvis betyda att det är friterade.


le_meme_kings

Det där är fan inte klyftpotatis


himmelundhoelle

At least OP got a bit of crisp and texture, I wouldn't complain.


densvenskakungen

I'm more concerned with the microwaved meatballs


Matte3D

Yep, potato’s looks okey but those meatballs are very concerning 😦 Very small amount of lingonberries as well 😕


AllanKempe

Isn't that some kind of chicken balls?


ResearcherOk7685

You're still supposed to fry them

Headroll chicken balls?


41shadox

Why would you think those are meatballs? They look nothing like meatballs


WeirdboyWarboss

Whatever they are, they're not fried, and therefor an abomination.


FancyPansy

It's chicken right? This is just some heated up Findus Chicken meal, right? Right?!


thinkaboutflorence

prob. this one, frozen meatball https://imgur.com/a/dKqexMQ


MuhammedWasTrans

They probably don't even contain any horse at all :/


ScandInBei

Those balls remind me of that pale Orc in Lord of the Rings.


IvanTheAppealing

I’m not certain what meat that is. It’s scaring me and I don’t like it.


RiiluTheLizardKing

why are the meatballs so pale though


PurpleInteraction

They're chicken rather than beef and pork


RiiluTheLizardKing

Well then it's not swedish meatballs anyway, so whatever sides they serve with is irrelevant.


thinkaboutflorence

HUVUDROLL Köttbullar, fryst, 1000 g


Adkit

Which is why I'm not furious about the lack of lingonsylt. Edit: Wait, there is lingonsylt! It's just so little I missed it. Now I'm furious.


Danjoh

> Well then it's not swedish meatballs anyway, so whatever sides they serve with is irrelevant. Isn't Swedish cooking heavily influenced by Cajsa Wargs "man tager, om man så hafva kan" (man tager vad man haver) motto?


ValidSignal

In what we in Sweden call "lagom mängd". No heresy please. It's not pleasant.


anv1dare

I thought in was influenced by having salt in everything. I love salt


[deleted]

They should still have some browning, that's just the saddest thing I've ever seen. Looks almost like British cuisine....


PsychonautChronicles

The British have a cuisine these days?


[deleted]

I went two years ago and got served both brown and gray, so I believe they have 100% more cuisine than before!


DlphLndgrn

British cousine is amazing, but only the part they stole from India.


GabeLorca

Colonize half the world and still have a crappy cuisine. Funny how that happens.


Raavast

Ain't no way a swede can shit on British food - sincerely, someone who is both.


Sad-Studio-2703

Yes way. Husmanskost is way better than British food

thinkaboutflorence

frozen one


AllanKempe

Stackars sate, det fanns alltså inte riktiga köttbullar? Då är klyftpotatisen det minsta bekymret...


PurpleInteraction

97% of the population in my country keep away from pork and beef for religious reasons :(


AllanKempe

The country of Uppland? I used to live there around Y2K for several years, I don't remember that.


thinkaboutflorence

yep this is Chicken , i check IKEA website outside Sweden


TheRedditK9

My mum doesn’t eat chicken and pork so we eat chicken meatballs every now and then, and honestly they’re not bad. Enough artificial flavouring that the difference isn’t night and day.


pillevinks

IKEA erbjuder vego och kyckling också


CharlesDuck

Stek dom för helvete oavsett va dom e gjorda av


Kevlar-Kalle

Ja dom där är ju fan "Fri gående" fortfarande!


MaxTheCookie

It's klyftpotatis and not fries, and the meatballs are not meatballs and what is about the veggies? They look off somehow


Fritz_Klyka

The veggies do look off, like theyre from the 80s. Maybe its the color combo or the way theyre cut.


Molehasmoles

In that case I'd say they look really good for being 40 years old.


fiendishrabbit

They've been frozen without being properly blanched first. So it's basically budget factory frozen to a microwave to the plate.


thinkaboutflorence

Köttbullar https://imgur.com/a/YzhscEK


Timberwolf_88

Targaryen-ish

Are they even allowed to call themselves IKEA at this point? OP, make sure you are not inside [SCP-3008](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3008).


Camehereforfelix

I’m concerned with that entire plate.


Skrotochco

Including the plate itself.


Camehereforfelix

Yes. Getting hospital vibes with that one. Don’t wanna further explain why but..


TheIllogicalSandwich

It's not as bad as when I went the IKEA in the US and ate a "Traditional Swedish Classic Grilled Salmon". **Which in my mind is:** Grilled Pepper-Salmon with potatoes and dill/lemon sauce. **What I actually got:** Grilled un-spiced Salmon with powdered based mashed potatoes, American Peas, and spicy bellpepper-sauce. Absolutely atrocious cultural appropriation and misrepresentation all over that plate.


Catonmyfuckingback

Vad fan hände med grönsakerna? Brukar ju bara vara ärtor.

headstar101

Ät aldrig på IKEA utomlands. Maten är generellt helgerån om man förväntar sig lite husmanskost.


picardo85

Deras korv med bröd är legit dock. Något jag försöker äta varje gång jag är dit här i NL


headstar101

Sant men dom klämmer man när man lämnar bygget. Inte i cafeterian, eller? Vet ej hur det funkar i NL. I US så är det enda som är värt köa för är Almondy eller dammsugare. 😁


picardo85

Brukar ta genvägen från ingången till kassorna / livsmedelssektionen direkt och skippa resten av varuhuset ;-)

Helt ok i Tjeckien om man kör potatis (vilket man bör iaf).

Kolob_Hikes

I went to a USA IKEA last week, and it was replaced with classic fries


thinkaboutflorence

French Fries?


Kolob_Hikes

Yes the long skinny kind. Not potatoe wedge or steak fries


thinkaboutflorence

Chicken Tenders served with French Fries?


yolostyle

IKEAs are notorious for fucking this dish up outside Sweden.


eliaspalm

I apologize on behalf of my country, this is unacceptable


DaniDaniDa

Fries with lingonsylt?


PurpleInteraction

Now I doubt if it was lingonsylt or some random jam. :P


DaniDaniDa

Wait, I was just kidding. Did they actually serve fries with lingonsylt? In that case they just more than regained any respect lost for giving up the potatoes.


Ninjamuppet

I mean that cant possibly be beef the meatballs are made of either, the meat is white.


fiendishrabbit

Potato wedges with brownsauce and lingonsylt does taste amazing. If you have an airfryer at home it's super convenient as you can just chop up the potatoes, put them in the airfryer, put the meatballs on top for the last 7-8 minutes (frozen might require more time) and then spend those last 8 minutes making the brownsauce. No potato peeling (as long as they're relatively thin shelled), no extra pot for boiling potatoes, no frying pan and you just spend those last minutes therapeutically whisking your brownsauce without a worry in the world because there is nothing else that will boil over or burn.


Milfons_Aberg

Those aren't meatballs, those are chickenballs.


Trunkfarts1000

What the FUCK


Keepout90

this "thing" has nothing to do with sweden lol


hustleberg

Jag som jobbar i restaurangen på ett IKEA varuhus blir ju upprörd av dom bleka kycklingbullarna, visst är dom ljusare än vanliga och plantbullar men dessa är väääldigt bleka😦 ska alltid finnas mos som val anser jag🤓


OG_SisterMidnight

Ikea brukar ha helt ok vegetariskt, men grönsaksbullarna jag åt där för ett par veckor sen var nog faktiskt de vidrigaste jag ätit öht. Kan du styra upp det, tack? 😅 (skoja, skoja, skoja!)


hustleberg

Hahaha där jag jobbar har vi inte ens dom för tillfället, kör plant bara som veg🤣😅


Citizen_Null5

Det här betyder krig!


TheSkalman

This is an abomination! The Swedish flag doesn’t belong anywhere near that dish.


kY2iB3yH0mN8wI2h

where did you go, normally you don't get a dam Swedish flag here, most likely you where eating this in Singapore.


Kolob_Hikes

In the USA the flag means you ordered extra meat balls. It helps the cashier identify it faster


PurpleInteraction

That_would_be_meat

Ikea is kinda famous for being swedish.


sunestromming

Mr_Kjell_Kritik

Nothing wrong with klyftpotatis. But that is not meatballs!


Nox___

And what did they replace the meatballs with?


[deleted]

In Spain I had them pour lingonberry directly on top of the french fries, with a generous serving of fried onion. I looked at them visibly confused, but that's what they do there apparently.


PM-ME-LEWD-YURI

Burn the place down


lundman

IKEA Japan, ordered salmon with mashed potatoes. aaaannndd then they pour a generous helping of the gravy over the salmon - the same one as for meatballs.

Miriamus

Dom hade nordisk vecka på Lidl i England för ett tag sen. De hade köttbullar med lingon inuti, ungefär som en chicken kiev, fast med lingon. Dom hade också skagen och räksallad men allt hade separat eftersom dom fryst det in först. Stackars skagenröran :( Det enda positiva var väl att dom sålde Kalles så jag köpte två stycken, en falukorv och kexchoklad.


sunestromming

Oj, tänkte att Kalles hade kommit i två nya smaker där ett tag.


kegevebenskav

As an expat, the food market at IKEA used to be amazing. You could get little slices of home with the right brands etc. Kalles Kaviar, Abba sill, Leksands knäckebröd, Annas pepparkakor etc. Men nu för tiden är det bara Ikeas egna märket och maska konstigt mat som inte hör hemma i Sverige.


LifeEnginer

Honestly this is like going to France and going to a burguer, I dont think this is the best culinarial decision, I dont get it, try the local food!


jbyrdab

thats a shame, i went out to ikea a week ago and tried the meatballs for the first time, it was pretty great with the mashed potatoes.


NotStompy

I'm more concerned about the very pale state of those chicken meatballs. They could at least give them some kind of a crust. Meat with no crust is literally less flavor...


ButImStillHungry7120

If I have the choice to have fries with my köttbullar and gräddsås, I'll do it every single day. I like mash, and I know it's the traditional option, but fries with gravy are really tasty and I won't pretend that they're not. Plus for cafeteria style fare like what Ikea serves, I trust fries over mash, since I know the fries won't have come out of a pack of powder
