Munini-imo

Munini-imo (or muninimo, from Ainu munin ["fermented"] and Japanese imo ["potatoes"]) is a dish of the Ainu people of Northern Japan.

[1] Potatoes are first fermented underground by the repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and then milled and dried.

The flour is soaked in water in order to remove the bitter taste and then baked on a griddle like a thick pancake.

The potato flour made with this process can be easily stored for at least twenty years.
