putkipinnat

Putkipinnat, also known as "putki" in Finnish, are a traditional Finnish dish consisting of a hollowed-out potato filled with a savory mixture, typically including rice, cheese, and sometimes meat or mushrooms. The potato is then baked until the filling is cooked through and the potato is tender.

The dish is relatively simple to prepare, requiring minimal ingredients and cooking time, making it a convenient option for home cooks. The combination of the creamy potato and the savory filling creates a comforting and satisfying meal. Putkipinnat are a staple in Finnish households and are often enjoyed during holidays and special occasions. The dish has also gained popularity in other countries, where it is appreciated for its unique flavor and texture.
