Grillkorv sausages — 4
Mashed potato (see Potatismos) — 300 g (1.3 cups)

Crispy fried onions — 4 tbsp
Mustard — 4 tbsp
Ketchup — 4 tbsp

Method

Grill the sausages over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Warm the flatbread sheets briefly in a dry pan or microwave to make them pliable.

Place a sausage on top, then add shredded lettuce and crispy fried onions.
Drizzle with mustard and ketchup.
Roll the flatbread tightly around the filling and wrap the bottom half in paper to hold its shape.

Introduction: A staple of Swedish kiosk culture, Tunnbrödsrulle wraps a grilled sausage, mashed potato and salad in soft flatbread, rolled up like a wrap — hearty, portable street food beloved at markets and after nights out.

Cultural Background: A staple of Swedish kiosk culture, Tunnbrödsrulle wraps a grilled sausage, mashed potato and salad in soft flatbread, rolled up like a wrap — hearty, portable street food beloved at markets and after nights out.

Tips: Warming the flatbread makes it far easier to roll without cracking. Don’t overfill or the wrap will be difficult to close.

Variations: A plant-based sausage and vegan mashed potato make this easy to veganise. Some versions add coleslaw instead of lettuce.

Storage: Best assembled and eaten immediately.

Reheating: Not recommended once assembled; reheat components separately and reassemble fresh.
