How to make it keto
Confirm if the Frikadellen contain breadcrumbs (semmelbrösel). Many traditional recipes include them, but some restaurants use minimal or omit them. Request no potatoes or bread, and ask for a simple side salad with oil and vinegar dressing. Specify traditional German mustard, not sweet mustard.
Watch out for
Some Frikadellen recipes include breadcrumbs as a binder, which adds carbs. Traditional sides (potatoes, bread) are high carb. Sweet mustard can also be a carb risk.
