Finnish sweetened potato casserole with wheat flour, milk, butter and optional syrup.
About Imelletty perunalaatikko
Imelletty perunalaatikko is a Finnish sweetened potato casserole associated especially with Christmas. This profile follows Valio's flour-sweetened version with butter and whole milk, retaining syrup only as the recipe's optional extra sweetness.
Potato develops a mild malty sweetness during the warm flour rest, while milk and butter add rounded dairy richness. Salt balances the sweetness and optional syrup can deepen it.
The baked casserole is pale gold to brown on top, with a soft, loose and slightly glossy interior. Its texture is smoother and more porridge-like than firm sliced potato gratin.
