Kavennuksilla

Kavennuksilla is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The dish is typically prepared using a variety of ingredients, including potatoes, carrots, and sometimes other root vegetables. The key ingredient, however, is the use of a specific type of potato known as "kavennus" or "kavennusperuna," which is a small, starchy potato variety native to Finland. These potatoes are boiled until tender and then mashed with butter, milk, and sometimes a pinch of salt. The dish is often served as a side dish, accompanying main courses such as meat, fish, or other traditional Finnish dishes. Kavennuksilla is known for its creamy texture and mild flavor, making it a versatile and comforting addition to any meal. The dish is also a popular choice for holiday meals and special occasions, reflecting its deep roots in Finnish culinary tradition.
