Mr. Jansson's Temptation (Janssons Frestelse)


A Swedish Recipe

From the Kitchen of:  Lill (in Sweden)

  • Peel 5-6 potatoes and cut into the size of matches and then put them into cold water to get the starch away. Cut two yellow onions in slices and fry them slowly in butter until they are golden. Dry the potatoes and put them in layers with anschovy...(sprat) and onions in a greased bowl, which can stand being put in the oven.
  • The first and last layers should be potatoes. Pour about a half cup of cream (whipping cream) or a little more over it and put it into the oven, 400-450 degrees (200-225C) for 45 minutes. Put some more cream into it, about the same amount, now and then and some of the salt sauce the sprat were in.
  • Do not forget the crisp bread and the cheese.
