Chef's Note
Gratins, dishes baked until they have a deliciously browned surface, are a special part of the Finnish Christmas meal. Moreover, they are extremely practical for the cook since they can be made ahead of time; in fact their flavour improves when they are reheated.
Tip: keeps well in a cool place for two to three days
