Scraps from the potato box – This is how you use the leftovers from the Christmas box

Are there any Christmas boxes left in the fridge? Use leftovers from a potato or lantu box to spin delicious risels.

Leftover Christmas boxes make delicious treats for the table. Baking riesko is a breeze, and you only need a couple of ingredients.

Easy fritters need nothing more than butter, so an easy treat is the most perfect way to get rid of the last boxes of potatoes and lantula. The Rieskas also do their business for the youngest in the family.

– These are really good, commented the 4-year-old while tasting the oven-fresh rieska.

The lantu box may be slightly looser in structure than the potato box. In that case, add more flour to the dough to make it easy to shape.
