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."

SWEDISH POTATO CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4/5)

Swedish Potato Casserole Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by HeatherS

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

Add:
Cook a large pot of potatoes (10 - 12) I like red for this
3/4 cup sour cream
4 oz. cream cheese
1-1/2 tsp onion salt or finely grated onion
1/2 tsp salt and pepper
2 tbsp. butter

Steps:

When potatoes are done, whip with the above ingredient until light and fluffy. Put in a well greased casserole dish. Cover with crumb topping: 3/4 cup fine bread crumbs (I use Italian for extra flavor) and 2 tbsp. melted butter. Bake uncovered at 350F for 45 minutes. If you are making the day before allow to cool and place in refrigerator, and cook when needed.

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for this casserole, as they hold their shape well and become creamy when cooked.
Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're using a large pan, make sure to spread the potatoes out in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential seasonings for this casserole. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika, to taste.
Use a flavorful cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and Parmesan cheese will give this casserole a delicious flavor.
Bake the casserole until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly: This usually takes about 45 minutes.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Swedish Potato Casserole is a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Give this classic recipe a try for your next potluck or family dinner - you won't be disappointed!
