stormylee's Note:

A more modern take on the traditional sweetened potato casserole, typically served as a side dish at Finnish Christmas dinners! I love the spices in this and this goes so well with baked ham!

I really liked this recipe. It was unusual, but yummy. The kids weren't fond of it, but I guess the spices put them off. I'll make it again though, and just give them mashed potatoes. Lol
