This is originally a Swedish recipe, but it has been a Finnish favourite for a long time. It's unsure who Jansson was - some say it was a pastor and this dish was his only temptation - but suffice to say that it's quite delicious. Traditional recipe has julienned potatoes, but if this seems like too much work you can thinly slice them too.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

125 g anchovy fillets
500 g potatoes, julienned
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
250 ml heavy cream
1/2 cup dill

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 200°C.
2
Fry the onions until soft, and mix with julienned potatoes.
3
Chop anchovy fillets finely, and keep the anchovy juices.
4
In a shallow oven dish, put in a thin layer of potato onion mixture, followed by some anchovies. Repeat until you have used everything, ending up with a potato layer on top.
5
Mix the cream with the anchovy juices and pour on the dish.
6
Bake in the oven for about an hour.
7
Before serving, top with fresh dill.

This should be made with sprats (Sprattus sprattus) and not with anchovies. The confusion arises out of the Swedish word being "Ansjovis". These are obtainable at Swedish shops in 125g tins

This was so very good. I made this for my elderly neighbor lady and then had to stop myself from scarfing the whole thing down. LOL! I did not add cheese and I did not reduce the anchovies.... my neighbor loves anchovies and I always thought they were gross.... well not anymore! This is a great dish kolibri! Thanks for posting!

Oh this was good. I had no problem adding tall the anchovies--I love them. I did substitute low fat sour cream for the full cream and added no cheese--Along with everyone else, I say thanks, Milla!

Really lovely potato dish. I used lite cream and it still tasted great. The photo with the cheese looked too good, so I had to have some on top as well and I really enjoyed it! Thanks for a special side dish!
