Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Mix the first seven ingredients in a bowl. Boil the milk and cream together, add to the bowl, and mix again.

  2. Step 2

    Rub a suitable oven-proof dish with half the butter, arrange the potato mixture in the dish, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and dot with the rest of the butter.

  3. Step 3

    Bake at 350 degrees until the potatoes are tender (about 1 hour). If the top is not browned, run the dish briefly under the broiler before serving.

What is a "suitable" dish? Thanks for letting me know.

Easier to mix potatoes, onion and cheese, layer in buttered baking dish, then pout hot milk/cream mixture over.

Took a prior reviewer’s advice and mixed the first 7 ingredients, added to the dish, then poured the milk/cream over. I only used 4 potatoes, decreased other ingredients a bit, but was heavy-handed with the gruyere. Served with korv and lingonberry sauce it tasted like Swedish Christmas!

What makes this Swedish? Asking for a friend.

Too soupy at the end of backing

Lovely dish and always a hit when I make it. I always follow the instructions as listed.
