Today I made this creamy potato and anchovies gratin which is called “Janssons frestelse”in Swedish, which means Jansson’s temptation. It is one of the most Swedish dishes.
I got this recipe from my mother-in-law.
I’m sure if you’re a fish lover you will love this one.






Ingredients:
3 onions
10 potatoes
Butter
3 cans of anchovies
1 pack of cream
1/4 pf a cup of breadcrumbs
Salt & pepper to season
Here's how to prepare it:
In a pan, fry the onions in 2 tablespoons of butter until they become tender & have a golden color.
Peel the potatoes and place them in a buttered pan.
Add the onions layer on the potatoes then place the anchovies.
Season with salt & pepper.
Add one more layer of potatoes.
Pour over the cream.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs and add small pieces of butter on top.
Bake in a preheated oven 200C for 25 minutes.
BON APPETIT!
