The anchovies gave an unwanted fishy taste. I would not include them again. Recipe would be better with just cheese, garlic, salt, and additional cream or half and half. I did like the innovative idea of placing the raw onions on the bottom layer so they cooked fully without needing to be sauteed. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

This is crazy good - my boyfriend is Swedish, so it meant a lot to be able to surprise him with as-good-a-version as his family recipe.

I, too, was happily surprised at what an effect the anchovies had--AND without being detected by my anchovy-hating other half! I made one change to keep from going to the store--I substituted a tube of anchovy paste for the anchovies. I think the quantity of the tube may have been a bit small in comparison the "fourteen" anchovies called for, so I either won't do that again, or I will use TWO tubes. In spite of my faux pas, I am still SO impressed by this dish, and will make it again! Thanks for a great recipe!

Tasty enough, as scalloped potatoes go. My potluck diners were surprised to learn about the anchovies.

This was really easy and yum. I used normal anchovies, ( I soaked them in milk for a few hours before using them,and drained). I used both red and white onions ( thats what I had ) and I cut the potatoes into strips. I had to use a little more cream ( I think my potatoes were quite big) and I baked it earlier - took a little longer than 45 mins. and then reheated it close to serving. Will make again.....

Thank you for this wonderful, easy recipe. I used red potatoes, came out great. I wasn't sure how to cut the potatoes, I think best would be thin slices, like you'd use for scalloped.

Truly Excellent!!! One of the best potato dishes we've ever eaten. I used red onion for added depth and since I made it for two I had to adjust the amounts a bit (different than if you use the provided scaling calculator). 2 medium potatoes sliced 1/4", 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream, 2 Oz Butter and 1/4 bread crumbs (I'll increase the butter/bread crumbs next time, they really added to the dish) and I'd also bake 5 minutes longer (50 Minutes). This is top notch.

I live in Sweden and this recipie is exactly like the one I use to make Jansson's Delight,, it is wonderful! The only difference is that I add the anchovies (packed in water from a tin) in layers, rather than at the bottom. I prefer your method better than mine.

My gosh these are GOOD! I'm not a big anchovy fan, but you don't really taste the anchovies. They do, however, add a fabulous flavor. I used "regular" anchovies, half and half instead of heavy cream, and increased the topping a bit. We just LOVED these! Just a delicious potato dish!
