To prepare the baking dish of anchovies and potatoes, clean the anchovies: remove the head, cut the belly 1, open them like a book, and remove the entrails 2, rinse them well under running water, and then place them on a tray lined with paper towels to dry them 3.
Meanwhile, fill a pot with water for steaming, flavor the water with lemon slices, juniper berries 4, and thyme 5. Heat the water, and while waiting for it to boil, peel the potatoes 6

Elsewhere, chop the sage and thyme 10 and place them in a bowl, add the crushed garlic 11, salt, and grated lemon zest 12.
Set aside the herbs, take an 8 x 8-inch baking dish, oil the bottom 13, lay down a first layer of slightly overlapping potatoes 14, then spread a layer of anchovies 15
season with the chopped herbs 16, continue alternating the layers until the ingredients are used up, finish with a layer of potatoes, season with the chopped herbs 17, and cook in a static oven preheated to 392°F for 20 minutes, then another 3-4 minutes under the grill.
