This hearty Finnish side dish is similar to mashed potatoes, but with the special, earthy flavor of yellow turnips (lanttu). Lanttulaatikko is a favorite Christmas dish on Finnish holiday tables.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out watery. I think I might have added too much milk.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time.
