Janssons Frestelse (Jansson's Temptation)
Swedish potato gratin with matchstick potatoes, anchovies (sprats), onions, and cream, baked until golden.
Why It Works
The Swedish 'anchovies' (actually sprats) are sweeter and milder than Mediterranean anchovies, melting into the cream to create a savory, umami-rich sauce.
