A relative of mine lives in Sweden and she says this dish is very famous and appreciated there. She shared the recipe of this yummy food with me and I´m sharing it with you.If you are curious about the origin of the name, you can look it up here.
Ingredients:
- 5 medium-large potatoes
- 2 large red or yellow onions
- 2 cans or bottles Swedish anchovies (about 25) (According to my friend, the origin of the anchovies is very important, and results may differ if another anchovies are used).
- 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
- salt
- pepper
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 2 Tbsp. melted butter
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425ยบ. Peel potatoes and either julienne into matchsticks, grate roughly, or cut into ultra-thin slices.
Peel and thinly slice onions. Grease a frying pan with butter and lightly fry onions over medium heat until tender but not brown. Remove from heat.
Lightly grease or butter a casserole dish. Place a third of the potatoes in bottom of dish. Layer half of the onions and half of the anchovies on top of the potatoes; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat layer; use remaining third of potatoes as top layer.
Pour enough cream over potatoes to fill dish 3/4 of the way up. Combine bread crumbs and melted butter and spread across top of casserole.
Bake in oven until browned and cooked through, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
