A Rönttönen is a traditional sweet Finnish delicacy from the region of Kainuu.

A small (about the size of the palm of a hand) open faced pie consisting of a crust made of barley or rye dough, filled with a sweetened mashed potato and berry (most often lingonberry) filling.[1]

Typically, it is served as an accompaniment to a coffee.

The Kainuun rönttönen has a protected geographical indication under the EU law.[2]
