JANSSON'S TEMPTATION (SWEDISH POTATO AND ANCHOVY CASSEROLE)
I found this on another website researching Swedish recipes. I love to make it and not tell people it has anchovies in it until after they rave about how good it is. The anchovies melt into it to make a sauce. It has such a yummy flavor! Here is a quote from the recipe: "Jansson's Temptation is a classic Swedish dish traditionally served before guests leave to ensure that during their cold journey home they have something warm inside them."

- In a large skillet cook the onions in 2 tbsp of the butter over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden.
- Preheat oven to 400.
- In a buttered 2 1/2- 3 quart shallow baking dish (13x9 works well), layer 1/3 of the potatoes, 1/2 of the onions, 1/2 of the chopped anchovies, salt and pepper to taste, 1/3 potatoes, 1/2 onions, 1/2 of the chopped anchovies, salt and pepper to taste, last third of potatoes.
- Drizzle the top of potatoes with the reserved oil from the anchovy can (about 2 tbsp.) and dot them with the remaining 1 tbsp of butter cut into bits.
- Bake the casserole on the middle rack for 10 minutes.
- Pour 3/4 cup of the cream over the potatoes and bake the casserole for 20 minutes more.
- Pour the remaining cream over the casserole, reduce heat to 300, and bake for 30 minutes more or until the potatoes are tender.

JANSSON'S TEMPTATION (JANSSONS FRESTELSE)
Who Jansson is, we may never know, but this meal is an absolute must on a cold and frigid evening. You might be put off by the inclusion of anchovies, but you will be really surprised at how well the saltiness of the fish works in this dish. If the anchovies are a definite 'no', then substitute smoked salmon. It won't have the same saltiness in each bite, but the salmon can be just as delicious in its own right. This is the one recipe that I get requests for after parties and there is always an amusing display of disbelief afterwards when the inclusion of anchovies is revealed.

JANSSON'S TEMPTATION
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.

JANSSON'S TEMPTATION
Jansson's Temptation was not created in Sweden at all, but in this country, Craig Claiborne found. The splendid dish, which is not unlike a casserole, is made with potatoes that have been cut into julienne strips and blended with anchovy fillets or sprats, plus cream and onions. As the story goes, it was named after a 19th-century Swedish religious leader, Erik Janson, who brought his followers from Sweden to America and founded a community called Bishop Hill in Illinois. Mr. Janson preached staunchly against the pleasures of the flesh and appetite but had a weakness - a particular potato-and-anchovy dish. He was discovered devouring the dish so ravenously that it ruined his reputation. Mr. Claiborne said the story is probably apocryphal (even the spelling of the name is different).

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Stack the slices and cut them into 1/4-inch-thick strips to resemble French fries. There should be about eight cups.
- Cover the bottom of a baking dish (an oval dish measuring 13 by 8 by 2 inches is ideal) with half of the strips. Drain the anchovies, reserving the liquid, and arrange them symmetrically over the potato layer. Pour the reserved liquid evenly over all.
- Scatter the onions and pepper over the top, and then scatter the remaining potatoes over them. Pour the cream over and sprinkle with pepper.
- Place in the oven and bake 45 minutes to one hour, until potatoes are done.
