What it is
Hearty pan-fried German meat patties, similar to meatballs or small meatloaves, typically made from ground beef and pork. For a keto diet, they are served simply with sharp Dijon mustard and crunchy pickles, ensuring no breadcrumbs in the patties.
Key ingredients

How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm the Frikadellen are made without breadcrumbs or use a keto binder. Request no bread/rolls and ask for sugar-free Dijon mustard. Ensure pickles are sugar-free (most traditional German gherkins are, but always check).
Watch out for
Breadcrumbs used as binder in the patties, bread rolls, sugary pickles, sweet mustard, potato salad or fries as sides.
