Louhinnuttal, also known as Louhinnuttalit, is a traditional Finnish dish that has gained popularity in recent years. The name translates to "potato dumplings" in English. The dish consists of small, round potato dumplings that are typically served with a creamy sauce made from sour cream, butter, and sometimes a touch of milk. The sauce is often flavored with dill, which gives the dish its distinctive taste.

Today, Louhinnuttal is a popular dish in Finland and can be found in many restaurants and homes across the country.

The preparation of Louhinnuttal is relatively simple. The potatoes are peeled and grated, then mixed with flour and eggs to form a dough.
