Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Jansson's Temptation (Janssons Frestelse).
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C) and generously greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter to ensure a delightful release.
Step 2
Next, create a cozy bed for your dish by layering the sliced onions evenly across the bottom.
Step 3
On top of this onion layer, artfully arrange the anchovy fillets, followed by a generous spread of potato strips that will soak up all the flavors.
Step 4
Drizzle the heavy cream over the layered ingredients, making sure every component is luxuriously coated.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, combine dry bread crumbs with melted butter, then sprinkle this golden mixture evenly over the potatoes for that perfect crunch.
Step 6
To catch any bubbling goodness, place your baking dish on a baking sheet and slide it into the preheated oven.
Step 7
Allow it to bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, the cream has thickened beautifully, and the top boasts a rich, golden brown hue.
Step 8
Enjoy the delightful aroma that fills your kitchen as this dish transforms into a comforting masterpiece.
