Potatis Korv

By Jerry Nelson

Food traditions for second and third generation Swedish Americans often reflect the peasant foods at the time of emigration in the late 1800s early 1900s. When I was a boy, these sausages were available at a local independent grocery store, and they were highly prized during the Christmas season. The store is long gone, but I make these every year around Christmas time for my family. Most likely, potatis korv is all but forgotten in the homeland; I know when I mentioned them to my cousin in Sweden, she had not heard of them.
