JANSSON'S TEMPTATION

     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
     3-4 oz    fillet of anchovy
     2/3 cup   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 400 deg. F
               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.
