Directions
Sweetened Potato Casserole (Imelletty Perunalaatikko), The traditional way of making one of the Finnish Christmas staples Flour is added to warm, mashed potatoes and the mixture left to stand in a warm place for several hours The amylase in the flour begins to break down the potato starch into sugars, sweetening the dish Now, try as I might, I can never get it to work well enough and have to resort to the modern way of adding treacle!! So, I’m listing it as an optional ingredient!, Wow! I have no idea if this is like the Finnish potato casserole! I made as directed, and added a tablespoon of molasses, which I think is the same as treacle I probably didn’t need to, as this is very sweet I’ve never had a potato casserole like it before Delicious and festive! Thanks, stormylee! Made for PAC Fall 2009
