Yield 6 - 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 - 6 potatoes, cut into very thin strips
2 medium onions, sliced
20 Swedish anchovy fillets (usually in tins, in oil)
2 or 3 T butter
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream

Steps:

(Optionally, let potato strips soak in water for a few hours to remove some of the starch. Dry well.) Saute onions in half the butter. Butter a (approx. 8 x 11.5") baking dish. Layer 1/3 of potatoes in the dish, and top with 1/2 of the onions and 1/2 of the anchovies. Repeat layer, and cover with remaining 1/3 of potatoes. Dot with remaining butter, and about 2/3 the cream. Cover with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove foil, dot with remaining cream, and bake another 20 or 30 minutes until potatoes are tender and golden brown.
