Butterball es una marca de productos avícolas, sobre todo pavo. También es "pan con manteca" en alemán y podría referirse a la forma de un típico pan holandés..."zan", que yo sepa, no existe y lo único traducible es la mostaza gruesa.

albóndigas

No hablo holandés, pero por lo que he podido investigar, "bitterballs" son albóndigas de carne.... te paso la propuesta por si te sirve :-)!

(traditional Dutch) croquettes

http://www.coquinaria.nl/english/recipes/Stock/Kroket.htm

This site gives a clear description and explanation of this traditional round croquette.

They are recognisably croquettes in Spanish terms (for Spain at least), but since the filling may be a little surprising, you may wish to add the explanation of Traditional Dutch (is this a Dutch restaurant, btw?), or even include the original name, Bitterbal.

Suerte!
