Lanttulaatikko

Lanttulaatikko or kålrotslåda is a swede casserole that is a traditional Christmas dish in Finland. It is usually served with other casseroles at the Christmas table as a side dish to ham, fish or other meats.
Traditional lanttulaatikko is made of boiled and mashed swede, sweetened and enriched with a mixture of bread crumbs, egg, cream, treacle, butter, and seasoned with salt and various spices. This mixture is placed in a casserole dish, often with a decorative pattern forked over it. The dish is then baked at for an hour and a half in an oven.
