Instructions

1
Boil the potatoes in salted water until easily pierced with a fork, then mash them with butter until smooth, and season with salt to taste.

6
Place a grilled sausage on top of the potatoes, then add a handful of lettuce, a few slices each of tomato, cucumber, and red onion.
7

8
Roll the tunnbröd up like a burrito, making sure the ends are tucked in so the yummy filling doesn't escape.
