- Hi friends! Today we learned from my grandma how to make Norwegian Potato Klub using one of my great aunt's recipes. We've heard of variations for this recipe, like adding meat to the middle or not using oatmeal, so there are many ways that you can do this too at home. Hoping that this video can help preserve this tradition in our family (and yours too!) if you remember growing up with this treat! :-)
One of my all times favorite. I don't eat it often after I moved to US. I'm from the west coast of Norway. We also grind boiled potato (that have become cold) with the raw potato. Also barley flour was the main flour mixed in. My mom also put a piece of Mør in the middle. It was always served with boiled potato, salt meat, smoked sausage, cubed bacon and mashed rudebaker. On the west cost Thursday is called ball Thursday.
Wow! This is awesome! This sounds like such a fun variation of it. We have a few recipes in our family that vary a bit. The sides sound perfect for this too. Thanks so much for sharing! 😄
Thank you so much for sharing this! My dad was Norwegian and would make klub only once a year because it was such a lengthy process. It's my all time favorite and have been looking for the recipe for more than a decade. We also had the bacon and onion in the middle, like your mom said Jena, "it was like the prize in the middle" :) ... Reheating it tasted even better than when it was first cooked ... heated in a skillet with real butter and then just before it was ready we'd add a little half & half ... Sooooo looking forward to trying this recipe! Thank you!!
Yes! My mom said she always loved frying it in butter and eating it the next day as a leftover meal! So yummy, and fun memories! ❤️ Thanks so much!
make them into discs instead of balls and pan fry them in butter after cooking.... Eat them with some sour cherry or other berry jam and butter.. or sour cream... a hearty meal!
I grew up in Minnesota and my father's side of the family is Norwegian. I remember eating klub on special occasions, but ours had some kind of salted pork in the middle. I've been looking for a recipe for years now, as no one seems to have gotten the recipe from my grandmother before she passed back in the 90's. I've introduced my Mississippi friends (and my husband and daughter) to lutefisk and lefsa, now I'm thinking a bit of klub might be next. Thanks for sharing this with us, hearing that unique Minnesota accent is always nostalgic after 20 years of southern drawl.
The salted pork in the middle is something that my mom remembers from her childhood too - she said it was like the "surprise" or "prize" in the middle! :-) We might have to try that too next time we make it. I'm glad that you can use this recipe as a start and adjust it to what you like! Excited for lefse here soon too! Thanks Brandee!
I love that they're all pitching in to help, but my mother-in-law made this a completely different way. We would grind potatoes 10 pounds, plus 2 large onions. We used Flour 1 1/2 cup or more if needed 1 1/2 cup graham flour and 1 cup oatmeal. while we were preparing potatoes and onions with the flours and oatmeal. We had a leftover ham bone with some ham on it bring to boil and let simmer for about an hour. Remove the ham bone and cut pieces of ham off. We formed the potato mixture into small footballs putting a piece of ham in center and dropping into the ham water. Letting it cook for about 20 minutes. Serving with butter. So yummy! Next day slice and fry leftovers serve with butter also. I hope this helps you in making this wonderful Norwegian dish. I also live in Minnesota. Twin Cities. I also grew up mainly in the South, Tennessee as my dad was 23 years Army. I have lived back in MN since 1975.
Great video! My dad's side of the family is also MN scandinavian :) we make lefse, flatbread, swedish meatballs, and we have lutefisk every christmas. I'm curious what other scandinavian dishes your family has... I'd love to see more videos!
Thanks Kris! Yum, that all sounds amazing! We used to do lutefisk each year and I miss it, we'd have a competition each year seeing who could eat the most. Whoever got the most from the year before would get the most flaky pieces next year. So many fun memories, and I want to make it here soon! We love doing spritz, krumkake, my grandma's donuts, lefse, kringle, and other recipes less often, but it is fun to pull those out once in a while!
We just made lefse, so I'll have that video put together soon. Hoping to add more videos as our family gets together and makes everything! It's a great way to make a time capsule of all of the recipes over time. :)
I grind up some of the ham with the potatoes, and also some onion. Also, I add a cut up onion to the ham juice to boil it in.
That is such a good idea! We'll have to try that out next time 😊 Thanks for the recommendation!
We call it krub we make it about once every two months never made it like this I'm going to try it soon
Oh for fun! You'll have to let me know how it turns out - normally we don't add oatmeal but we tried it this time to see if we liked it or not. :-)
You can also use a cheese grader to do the same thing
I’ve eaten this dish my whole life, and love it, but we call it Kumla…
My family called it that also. We did not use oatmeal. Do you?
From Illinois, but my ancestors moved from MN. In the part of Mn. I MOVED TO, THEY MADE IT VERY DIFFERENT and their lefse) in their Kumla(I forgot the name they used) they put salt pork and maybe onions inside, and met some who made it like you, but with water, not ham juice. Not tasty that way in.my opinion.
Any idea what type or brand grater you have? I use a hand grater which is more labor intensive than that, but it looks like the right coarseness. My mom and sister went to a food processor, but I think it makes the potatoes too fine and not coarse enough, which ruins the texture, in my opinion.
Hey Jerry! "Grate" question 😄 We have an old style one. The grater itself says "Universal" on the side and has the number "2" up on top. We did use the attachment that doesn't grate the potatoes too small! I did find an exact match to ours online here, so I hope this helps!

It came with two grinder plates, and we used the coarser of the two. Thanks for asking this question - we learned something new today about the grinder, looks like this one was first released in 1897 by L.F. & C! How cool!
Happy cooking!
