This is a Swedish Christmas classic. V makes this every year around this time, at least a couple of times. It is what I look most forward to at the Christmas table, aside from the sweets. 🙂 We have it with ham, beetroot salad, Swedish Christmas bread, meatballs, eggs, caviar, cornishon, peppers, mustard.. and more. 🙂

- Grease the pan then cover the bottom with half of the potatoes. On top, evenly spread onions and anchovies. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with second half of the potatoes, season. Drizzle over anchovies oil. Add half of the cream and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
- Bake for 30min then add second half of the cream and bake for another 30min.
- Enjoy while warm or, for even creamier texture, leave for a couple of hours or even until the next day.
