Bitterballen - What are they?

Bitterballen are the highlight of the Dutch snack bar and social drinking culture. When people talk about bitterballen, they automatically think of good company. Every Dutch party, canteen, or snack bar has them in their range. Filled with a ragout of beef, although it is also possible to choose another filling, such as vegetarian bitterballen. The outside is perhaps the most important part; it must be nicely crisp and crunchy.

Preparing bitterballen is simple; the most traditional way is to put them in the deep fryer. But at Dutch Shopper, we also have bitterballen that you can cook in the oven or air fryer. For example, in the Blue Home 5 litre air fryer.
