JANSSON'S TEMPTATION (SWEDISH POTATO AND ANCHOVY CASSEROLE)



Jansson's Temptation (Swedish Potato and Anchovy Casserole) image

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."
