I tried making this Swedish Janssons frestelse with ingredients that I could find in Japan.

When using Swedish anchovies, the juices from the tin are added to the cream, but since I used anchovies in oil this time, I didn't add it. Recipe by hannah_uk

Steps

1

Thickly julienne the potato and thinly slice the onion. Cut the anchovies into 2 cm cubes.
2

Heat the butter in a frying pan and stir-fry the onion. Transfer the onion to a plate and set aside.
3

Grease a heat-resistant casserole dish with butter.
4

Line the dish with 1/3 of the potato followed by 1/2 the onions and 1/2 the anchovies. Repeat this pattern once more, and then add the final 1/3 potatoes on the top.
5

Pour the heavy cream over the top, and lastly, sprinkle in the panko.
6

Bake the Janssons frestelse for 40 minutes at 200°C. Once it's turned golden brown, it's ready. Cover it with foil to prevent it from burning.
7

The anchovies sold in Sweden are small herrings pickled in sugar, salt, spices, and vinegar. I really want to try making this with real Swedish anchovies.

Unfortunately, I only brought back a few tins of anchovies from Sweden, so instead, I used anchovies pickled in oil that I bought in Japan.
