ksiimuodot

Ksiimuodot, also known as "Ksiimud" or "Ksiimudot," are a traditional Finnish dish consisting of boiled potatoes, often served with a side of butter and salt. The term "ksiimuodot" is derived from the Finnish word "ksiima," which means "potato," and "muodot," meaning "shapes." The dish is typically prepared by boiling potatoes until they are tender, then mashing them and forming them into various shapes, such as balls, cylinders, or other geometric forms. These shapes are then fried in butter until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Ksiimuodot are often served as a side dish to complement other Finnish dishes, such as meat or fish stews. The dish is a staple in Finnish cuisine and is enjoyed for its simplicity and hearty flavor.
