1
Pour water into a pot and bring it to a boil. Peel the potatoes and carrots, then cut them into cubes. Salt the boiling water, add the potatoes and carrots, reduce the heat, and cook for 10–15 minutes.
2
Remove the potatoes from the water and place them in a bowl, where you will mash them later. Let the carrots cook for another 5–7 minutes until they are soft enough.
3
Prepare the meatballs in the meantime. Peel the onion, finely chop it, and place it in a bowl. Add water, breadcrumbs, and ground meat. Season with salt and ground meat seasoning, then mix everything thoroughly into a smooth mixture. Rub your hands with a little oil and form small meatballs.
4
Drain the cooked carrots and mix them with butter, sugar, and salt.
5
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and fry them for 5–6 minutes, turning occasionally.
6
Pour in the cooking cream and sift in the flour while stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1–2 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken.
7
Season the sauce with mustard, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer over low heat for 8–10 minutes. Add a small piece of butter at the end for a smoother taste.
8
Mash the cooked potatoes with a masher, add the butter, and stir to combine.
9
Serve the meatballs with the sauce on plates, along with mashed potatoes, buttery carrots, and a spoonful of lingonberry jam.
