JANSSON'S TEMPTATION
JANSSON - A kind of gratin with potatoes
This is one of the dishes at a real Swedish smorgasbord. It
is often served with beer and salad as a night meal at par-
ties.
Jansson is the family name of the person who invented this
dish. Every Swede knows about Jansson's Temptation, but
nobody knows just who Jansson was.

1 onion
4-5 potatoes
3-4 oz fillet of anchovy
2/3 cup double cream
bread crumbs

them in strips. Chop the anchovy.
(2) Put potatoes, onion and anchovy in layers in a

on some bread crumbs and some pats of butter.
(3) Bake in oven for about 40 minutes at 400 deg. F

cream, instead of only cream.
