Recipe for "jansson"

NAME

     JANSSON - A kind of gratin with potatoes
     This is one of the dishes at a real Swedish smorgasbord.  It
     is  often served with beer and salad as a night meal at par-
     ties.
     Jansson is the family name of the person who  invented  this
     dish.  Every  Swede  knows  about  Jansson's Temptation, but
     nobody knows just who Jansson was.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 2)

     1         onion
     4-5        potatoes
     100 g     fillet of anchovy
     150 ml    double cream
               bread crumbs
               butter

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Chop the onion finely. Peel the potatoes  and  cut
               them in strips. Chop the anchovy.
          (2)  Put potatoes, onion and anchovy  in  layers  in  a
               greased pan. Make sure that the top layer has only
               potatoes showing. Pour the cream over it. Sprinkle
               on some bread crumbs and some pats of butter.
          (3)  Bake in oven for about 40 minutes at  200  deg.  C
               until the potatoes are soft.

NOTES

     If you are the ``Jane Fonda'' type, you  can  mix  milk  and
     cream, instead of only cream.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 20 minutes preparation, 40  minutes
     baking.  Precision: No need to measure.
