Personal Notes:
Oh gosh - what can I say?? Another Norwegian national dish - land of potatoes and fish!

Grandma Peterson called these "sinkers", and for good reason! They sink like a stone in the stomach, and are very filling - just the thing for a house full of kids (7) and Mom and Dad. You could add them to a vegetable soup, but I always liked them just cut up with some butter melted over them.
