I enjoy sharing this dish with guests. It is based on a recipe from Beatrice A. Ojakangas' book, The Finnish Cookbook. Ingredients:
6 medium potatoes, peeled |
2 eggs, beaten |
1 cup cream or 1 cup milk |
salt |
6 tablespoons butter, divided |
6 tablespoons fine dry breadcrumbs |
Directions:
1. Cook the potatoes. When done cooking, drain the water and mash them in the pot. Transfer them to a mixing bowl.
2. Whip in the eggs, cream or milk, salt to taste, and 4 tablespoon butter; beat until very fluffy.
3. Turn into a buttered 1-quart casserole and sprinkle with the bread crumbs. Dot with remaining two tablespoons butter.
4. Bake in a moderately hot oven (375 degrees farenheit) for 20 to 25 minutes or until the top is nicely browned.
5. Serve hot.
