Jansson's Temptation (Swedish: Janssons frestelse) is a traditional Swedish casserole made of potatoes, onions, pickled sprats and cream. It is typically served as a late night meal before the guests leave a party. These days, it is also commonly included in a Swedish julbord (Christmas smörgåsbord), and the Easter påskbuffé, which is lighter than a traditional julbord. The dish is also common in Finland where it is known as janssoninkiusaus.
