They are a lot fatter than normal Norwegian pølser and are usually baked in the oven with lard. The tops of the sausages are notched which creates a ‘bursting’ pattern during baking. Mash potatoes, red cabbage and gravy usually accompany julepølse (or green cabbage and boiled potatoes, if you prefer).
