- 6 large onions (about 1 1/2 lbs.) thinly sliced
- 2 tins anchovies (1.7 oz/48 g each), drained and diced
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups whipping cream or creme fraiche
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsp. melted unsalted butter
- 4 large baking potatoes (such as Idaho), peeled and cut into julienne strips (about 1/4 x 2 in.)
