The 'frikandel' itself is a relatively modern invention, originating in the mid-20th century. The dish represents a common approach to fast food and snack culture in the Netherlands, with influences from both traditional Dutch cuisine and the growing popularity of readily available, quickly prepared foods. Fries, of course, have a longer history, and are a staple across Europe, often associated with Belgian cuisine, but very popular in the Netherlands.

The dish is a balance of savory, salty, and fatty flavors, with a refreshing counterpoint from the salad. The mini 'frikandelletjes' offer a spiced meat flavor, while the fries provide a satisfying potato base. The salad adds brightness and acidity.
The 'frikandelletjes' are made from a mixture of finely ground meat (often a blend of beef, pork, and chicken), spices such as nutmeg, mace, and pepper, and breadcrumbs. They are deep-fried, resulting in a crispy exterior and a soft, savory interior. The fries are typically thick-cut and double-fried for maximum crispness. The salad usually consists of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and sometimes other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers, dressed with a simple vinaigrette or Dutch 'slasaus' (salad cream).

Sauce Selection
Experiment with different sauces! Popular choices include mayonnaise, curry ketchup, and 'speciaal' (mayonnaise, curry ketchup, and finely chopped raw onions).
Fries Preparation
Double-frying the fries is essential for achieving optimal crispness. Fry them once at a lower temperature to cook them through, and then again at a higher temperature to brown and crisp them up.
Salad Freshness
Use fresh, seasonal vegetables for the salad to enhance the flavor and nutritional value. A simple vinaigrette dressing works well, but feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices.
Frikandel Quality
Not all frikandelletjes are created equal. Look for high-quality, fresh frikandelletjes for the best experience.
