Soak the stale bread in warm water or milk. If you use the bread crumbs skipthis step. After 10 minutes squezze out the liquid and crumble the bread in a mixing bowl.
While the bread is soaking, saute the onions in a pan with 1 tbsp of vegetable oil over low heat until soft not brown. Set aside to cool them down.
Add all the ingredients (ground beef & pork, parsley, onions, egg, mustard, spices) to the soaked bread and mix together until well blended and the meat is smooth.
Wet your hands with water and form large patties or smaller bite size meatballs to the desired size and slightly flatten them. Cover and chill the meat balls in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan to a medium heat. Once hot add the Frikadellen and fry on both sides until nicely browned, then lower the heat and continue to fry over until cooked through according to desired doneness.
Serve warm or cold. Traditionally served with potato salad or a crusty bread roll slathered with mustard.
