Lanttulaatikko

Traditionally prepared for Christmastime, this Finnish casserole consists of mashed rutabaga, also known as yellow turnip, blended with eggs, breadcrumbs, butter, or cream. Generously seasoned with a variety of spices such as nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon, the casserole is oven-baked until crispy on the exterior. The dish is traditionally served alongside various main courses, and due to its rich, earthy flavors, lanttulaatikko is the perfect addition to any holiday meal.
