Janssons frestelse
A Swedish classic that has its rightful place on the Christmas table. In our family, this is served together with the rest of the necessary small dishes on the Christmas table such as pickled herring, cured salmon, Christmas ham, meatballs, ribs, beetroot salad and prince sausage. We always make the whole Christmas table in buffet style and everyone can choose what they think fits with what. Therefore, I think this recipe should be enough for 8 people if you eat it as a side dish on a buffet.
Jansson's frestelse (translates to Jansson's temptation) is a kind of potato gratin that consists of potatoes, onions, cream, butter and anchovies. The potatoes are sliced into thin sticks and layered with onions and anchovies. Cream is added, topped with breadcrumbs and then baked in the oven until soft.

Classic Swedish Potato Gratin | Janssons Frestelse
This Classic Swedish Potato Gratin is a must on a swedish christmas dinner. You have potato, caramelized onion, cream, and to top it off for the crispness is bread crumbs. The original recipe have anjovisfile in it. We don't like the taste of ansjovis so we don't add it. This dish is so delicious, I don't know why we only should eat it on the holidays? Let's break that rule :)
Ingredients:
10 potatos
2 medium size yellow onion
5 tbsp butter
1.7 Cup ( 4 dl ) heavy cream
bread crumbs until it covers the potatoes
salt and pepper
How to make:
1. Put the oven on for 435 F.
2. Peel and chop the potatoes and onion.
3. In a pan on low heat with 1/2 tbsp butter add the onions.
4. 8X12 inch baking pan start with pouring half of the potatoes. Sprinkle some salt and pepper than add the onions and finish with remaining potatoes. Sprinkle some salt and pepper again. Add the cream and bread crumbs.
5. Bake for 45 min on the lower rack.
6. Enjoy!
Thank you for watching! In my opinion the best memories are created in the kitchen. I hope you will create your own memories with this Classic Swedish Potato Gratin recipe.

Janssons Frestelse
Known in English as Jansson’s Temptation, this is a ubiquitous holiday dish in Sweden and Finland. Hugely popular since the early 20th Century, this casserole has become a staple in every household. No Christmas meal would be complete without this dish; either as an appetizer or as a side. Word of mouth has it that it was invented in the 1920’s or 1930’s by a rich socialite’s chef, and its popularity grew from there. First recorded recipe was in a Swedish cookbook published in 1940 and it took off from there. Sprats are a wonderful and tasty little fish, with a flavor very much like trout. They are from neither the sardine nor anchovy family, but a separate species. The smoked ones are great on Triscuits or Saltine crackers. Ingredients Follow:
4 Russet Potatoes
1 White Onion
1 Can (6-8 oz) Sprats
1 Stick Butter
24 OZ Cream
1 TSP Sugar
1/3 C Bread Crumbs
Salt
Pepper
I first learned of the recipe from this book: Time-Life Foods Of The World Series, The Cooking Of Scandinavia by Dale Brown and the Editors of Time-Life Books. C. 1968 Time Inc. Published simultaneously in Canada Time-Life Books, New York.
Music: Theme song from the television show The French Chef, performed by The TV Theme Players. From the album TV Theme Songs From The Past. c. 2009 Big Eye Music. Used by permission.
