“Raggmunk med fläsk” is one of the most common Swedish meals, often served at lunch restaurants and for dinner at home. The potato pancake is basically grated potatoes mixed with pancake batter and there are many similar variants in other countries, e.g. latkes, draniki, etc. Have a look at the pinterest collection with potato pancakes from around the world for more alternatives to raggmunk.
