Swedish Tapas (Gluten & Oil Free)

We have a classic dish named “Råraka” in Sweden. It’s a potato hash that can be served either as a starter or main dish. The classic topping is with pork and lingonberries or creme fraîche and fish roe. Since I love making finger food and small pre-dinner bites I thought I turn this Swedish classic into small tapas with three different toppings.

These tapas are very easy to make and are really delicious. I chose to make them with light and fresh toppings that are summery but that also can be served during autumn and winter.

Ingredients for these Swedish Tapas:

  • Potatoes
  • Chanterelles
  • Red onion
  • Water
  • White wine vinegar
  • Stevia (or regular sweetener)
  • Avocado
  • Lemon
  • Shrimps
  • Chives
  • Creme Fraîche
  • Fish roe
  • Dill
