It was the traditional Swedish combination of salted anchovy fillets and potato which tempted Erik Janson (one ‘s’ in life, two in the recipe title). He was a religious enthusiast who emigrated to the United States in the nineteenth century and founded a colony of disciples in Illinois. His principles forbade eating for pleasure. but he succumbed to this dish.
