Notes
Known as Jansson’s Temptation, this Swedish dish is believed to have been named after opera singer (and foodie), Pelle Janzon. We’ve added tuna to make these bakes more substantial.
Tips: For bakes, only cut potatoes when you are ready to use them. Don’t worry if they brown slightly; it won’t affect the taste and the colour disappears with cooking.
Don’t soak the cut potatoes in water as this washes away the starch, which is needed to thicken the cream mixture.
