Question of the week and a recipe Jansson's Temptation

[Guest guest]

My favorite food is of course Scandinavian food but

many recipes you have to adapt, like this one, I

replace the anchovy ingredient with capers. It's a

very delicious recipe and I make it mostly for

holidays or for a buffet dinner. This is my Gran's

recipe. This is a Smorgasbord favorite.

 

Jansson's Temptation

 

3 tbls. butter

2 large onions, sliced

4 potatoes, med-large, peel & cut into julienne strips

1 1/2 heaping tablespoons rinsed capers, mashed

1 cup half and half or cream

 

Butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish, set aside,

preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Melt one tablespoon butter in a large skillet and

saute onions until soft but not browned or over

cooked.

In the baking dish alternately layer potatoes, sauteed

onions and mashed capers and top with more potatoes.

crumble up a few more capers and sprinkle over the

top. Dot top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of

butter. Pour 1/2 cup of the half & half over the top,

cover dish and bake for 25 minutes.

remove cover, add remaining 1/2 cup of half & half and

bake 25 more minutes. Serves 5 or 6 and it's

delicious from the oven or at room temp.

Now enjoy this Swedish comfort food.
