Kuljettiin

Kuljettiin is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The name "kuljettiin" translates to "it was eaten" in English, reflecting the dish's origins as a communal meal prepared for travelers and laborers. The dish is typically made with a base of potatoes, which are boiled and then mashed with butter, milk, and sometimes flour to create a creamy texture. Other common ingredients include carrots, onions, and sometimes meat, such as pork or beef, which are cooked separately and then added to the potato mixture. The dish is often seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes nutmeg for added flavor. Kuljettiin is typically served hot and is often accompanied by bread or other side dishes. It is a hearty and comforting meal that has become an iconic part of Finnish culinary heritage.
