Swedish term or phrase: Charlottenlöksmör
This may seem a dead easy question but I cannot find one clear reference to it anywhere on the web! But I did find potato onion somewhere but I think it's a reference to a small yellow onion. Anyway, can it simply be charlotte onion? Most sites that call it charlotte onion are Swedish sites or Danish sites. Could be wrong. Any ideas?
