Ingredients

  • 1.8 kg potatoes
  • 3 yellow onions
  • 400 (or 500) g cream (40-ish %)
  • 3 (or 2) cans of anchovies (125 g per can, including the liquid)
  • 100 g butter
  • 25 g roe
  • 20 g tomato puré
  • 50 g bread crumbs
  • While the onion is frying, peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
  • Whisk the pickling juice, the roe and the tomato puré into the cream.
  • Now you’re all set to put the pieces together. Layer potato sticks – raw and fried onion – and pieces of anchovy, until you run out of ingredients.
  • When you’re done with the layering, pour the cream/anchovy pickling juice/tomato puré/roe- mix on top.
  • Now sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly over the surface.
  • Distribute the remaining can of anchovy fillets on top of the layer of bread crumbs.
  • And finally: slice the remaining butter (or better yet, use a cheese grater) and layer it on top of the anchovy fillets.
