Raggmunk
(Swedish Potato Pancakes)
​This recipes was shared by a Swedish WWOOFer couple as a part of Kelsey's fieldwork in Central Otago. The recipe was selected by the WWOOFers because they had shared it with previous WWOOF Hosts, and felt that their Hosts had liked it because of their perception that Kiwis eat a lot of potatoes, and because it is a regionally specific dish from Östergötland County in Sweden where the couple normally resides.
