JANSSON'S TEMPTATION (SWEDISH POTATO AND ANCHOVY CASSEROLE)
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 ONIONS AND POTATOES AU GRATIN
From the cookbook Onion Harvest Cookbook. Another cookbook given to me by a friend. For cook time, I'm including the cooking of the potatoes, because that has to be done concurrently, almost, with the onions.
