laattapintoja

Laattapintoja, also known as laattapintojat, are a traditional Finnish dish consisting of a thin layer of potato pancake topped with a creamy sauce made from sour cream, butter, and sometimes a bit of milk. The dish is typically served as a side dish or a light meal, often accompanied by smoked salmon or other cold cuts. The potato pancake is made by mashing potatoes and mixing them with flour, eggs, and sometimes a bit of milk or water. The batter is then spread thinly on a hot griddle or frying pan and cooked until crispy and golden brown. The creamy sauce is poured over the hot pancake, which is then folded in half and served. Laattapintoja is a popular dish in Finland, often enjoyed during the colder months when hearty and comforting foods are preferred. The dish is also a staple in many Finnish restaurants and cafes, both in Finland and abroad.
