Traditional Swedish Christmas dish, perfect for winter feasts.
Ingredients:
Meltedbutter, to grease
1.5kg potatoes, peeled
18.20 gm olive oil
80g butter, chopped
3brown onions, halved, thinly sliced
1 x 80g btl anchovy fillets, drained, finely chopped
Groundwhite pepper
250ml (1 cup) thickened cream
250ml (1 cup) milk
70g (1 cup) fresh breadcrumbs (made from day-old bread)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 2L baking dish with melted butter. Slice the potatoes into matchsticks and soak in cold water to prevent browning.
In a medium frying pan over medium heat, heat the oil and half of the butter. Add the onion and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft.
After draining the potato, gently pat it dry with a paper towel. Layer one-fifth of the potato on the bottom of the dish. Add a quarter of the onion and anchovy on top. Season with white pepper. Repeat layering with the rest of the ingredients, ending with the final layer of potato.
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream and milk to a simmer. Pour this creamy mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle with breadcrumbs and the remaining butter.
Cover with non-stick baking paper and foil, bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and cook for another 30 minutes until golden. Let it stand for 10 minutes before serving.
