Throw on your winter hats and mittens and watch "Frozen 2," which features cultural inspiration from indigenous peoples native to Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. For food, we love these potato-cake recipes from Kitchen Stories and Simple As That Blog. Raggmunk is a Swedish potato pancake often served with bacon and jam (breakfast for dinner, anyone?) and lefse are a crepe-like Norwegian potato flatbread made from mashed potatoes often served with butter and cinnamon and sugar.
