- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Molasses
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground white pepper

Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil them in a large pot of salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until very tender.
Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them until smooth. Set them aside to cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a casserole dish with butter or oil.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Stir well and remove from heat.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, warm milk-butter mixture, eggs, flour, molasses, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well until the mixture is smooth.
Transfer the potato mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the potato mixture for a golden crust.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly set.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this rich and creamy Finnish comfort dish!
