Kannattelevi is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The name "kannattelevi" translates to "potato stew" in English. The dish is typically prepared with potatoes, onions, and sometimes other vegetables like carrots or leeks. The potatoes are peeled and cut into chunks, then cooked in a pot with onions and other vegetables until they are tender. The dish is often seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes a touch of sugar to balance the flavors. Kannattelevi is commonly served as a side dish, accompanying main courses such as meat or fish.
