107. Have you ever had Jansson's Temptation (Janssons Frestelse)?

Jansson's Temptation (Janssons Frestelse)

Ingredients

2 large onions, cut into 1/4 inch wide strips
14 fillets Swedish anchovies, or regular anchovies
6 potatoes, peeled and cut into strips
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon melted butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Spread onions evenly onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Evenly distribute anchovies on top of the onions. Place potatoes on top of the anchovies, then pour in heavy cream. Mix bread crumbs together with the melted butter, then sprinkle over top of the potatoes.
Place onto a baking sheet to catch any cream which bubbles over. Bake in preheated oven until the potatoes have softened, the cream has reduced, and the dish has turned deep golden brown, about 45 minutes.

I haven't - I tried to make them once with Swedish anchovies I bought at IKEA. I had the other ingredients ready and when I opened the anchovies, they were bad. I cooked the dish without them, but I suspect it would have been much better with!
