2. Fry the onions over gentle heat with some butter until soft.

3. Peel your potatoes and rinse them in water.

4. Cut the potatoes into thin strips using, for example, a mandolin.

5. Cover the bottom of the dish with potatoes, then add half the fried onions and half the fish pieces. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top.

6. Make a second layer, add potatoes on top and pour the mix of anchovy brine and cream on top of the potatoes.
