Just the recipe: Lanttulaatikkoresepti Rootabaga Casserole Recipe

A must-have dish with Christmas ham for me.

1 kg rootabaga
3 dl water
1 ½ tsp salt
an egg
2-3 tbsp syrup
½ dl breadcrumbs
butter for the dish

Wash and peel the rootabaga(s).

Cut the rootabagas into slices, then into strips.

Boil the water and put the rootabaga strips in to boil. Add the salt. Cover with a lid and cook until the rootabaga strips are soft.

Mash the rootabagas.

Add the egg and the syrup. Butter a dish.

Pour the rootabaga mash into the dish and sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top. Bake at 200°C about 30 minutes.
