Imelletty perunalaatikko is a traditional Finnish dish made with mashed potato and usually served for Christmas dinner. The dish is made as a sweetened version. The traditional method calls for molasses for making it sweet however I made it as a savory version using chilli flakes as per my daughter's wish and hence it is mildly spicy. It was looking like a savory potato muffins with a heaven in each bite and we enjoyed each and every bite of it.
It was so soft with the goodness of egg and fresh cream along with potato. So let’s get started with the recipe now.
