INSTRUCTIONS

Mashed potato

Peel potatoes and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Place in a heatproof container and microwave until tender.
Place in a bowl and mash the potatoes well.
Add butter and mix well.
Add the milk and mix well.
Add dried tomatoes, herbs and seasonings and mix well.

Bake

Preheat the oven to 175℃.
Cut the onion into thin slices and spread them in a baking dish.
Place the Silakka, skin side down.
Sprinkle with salt lightly.
Sprinkle the flour lightly.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the mashed potatoes on top of the Silakka.
Roll the mashed potatoes with the Silakka (*1).
Place the rolls in a baking dish, end side down.
Pour olive oil around the rolls.
Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes.

NOTES

*1 There were 23 fish for 300g. You don’t have to wrap the mashed potatoes completely with Silakka, so the Silakka can be as large or as small as you like, but adjust the amount of potatoes you wrap each time.

*2 I used the olive oil that I had used with the dried tomatoes. It has a delicious tomato flavor.
