Imelletty Perunalaatikko (Finland)
This traditional Finnish stew is characterized by its long cooking time and mild sweetness. It is prepared with a mixture of mashed potatoes and wheat flour. It is kept in a warm place for hours, allowing the starch to break down and providing natural sweetness.
The dish is sometimes additionally flavored and spiced with nutmeg before baking until a golden-brown, crunchy crust forms on top. Traditionally associated with Christmas time, this creamy, starchy casserole is often used as a side dish.
