Smørrebrød Danish potato anchovy open faced sandwich. Inspired by dish called Jansson's Temptation

Recently, we made the Jansson's Temptation dish and we were inspired to make a potato anchovy open faced sandwich.  This delicious potato anchovy open faced sandwich is great for either lunch or dinner. 


The open sandwich recipe below is a tall sandwich because of the layers of colorful toppings.  To give the sandwich a little extra color and a yummy twist  we garnished with some fresh radishes too

 

Below are a few ingredients to make an absolutely delicious anchovy sandwich. 

 Ingredients:
  • 1 piece of rye bread
  • European style butter
  • 2 tablespoons of sour cream
  • chopped chives
  • 6 pieces of anchovies
  • 4-6 slices of cold potatoes (depending on the size)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons of caviar
  • fresh radish as garnish 
  • chopped parsley or dill for taste & decoration 
Instruction:
  1. When you are ready to make this smørrebrød, the first thing to do is butter a piece of dark Danish rye bread.
  2. Lay across the rye bread either 4-6 slices of cold potatoes.
  3. Then, mix in a small bowl a nice large spoonful of sour cream with chopped chives.This topping goes great with the anchovies.
  4. Next add on top of the potatoes a large spoonful of the sour cream chive topping. 
  5. Lay 5 or 6 pieces of anchovies across the sour cream. 
  6. Sprinkle capers across the center of the sandwich
  7. Finally for garnish add parsley and fresh radishes on the side.  
It's that easy! This sandwich goes great with a Danish beer too.  We usually set the table with a Royal Copenhagen plate, a fork, a knife and a glass for the beer.
