Potatoes are a staple in the Finnish diet. As a kid, we ate potatoes with most of our meals - boiled, baked, fried, every which way. During my mum's childhood days in Finland they ate seasonably, so root vegetables made up a bulk of their diet during the long cold winters.
This dish is a particular favourite with the addition of anchovies and cream, ending with a crispy top and salted centre. No need to season. Frequently seen on the Christmas dinner table, this delightfully easy but delicious dish has been a family favourite for generations.
