Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 0.5cm thick sticks.

Melt the butter in a pan and sauté the onions until soft but not brown.

Add the sliced potatoes to the pan and cook for several minutes.

Layer half of the potato and onion mixture in a dish and top with 10 sprats and seasoning.

Repeat with the remaining mixture and sprats before pouring over the reserved sprat juice.

Pour 200ml of the combined milk and cream over the dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

Bake for 45 minutes, adding the remaining 100ml of liquid halfway through.

Serve the gratin as part of a traditional Swedish smörgåsbord.
