Swedish Style Pot Roast

Place oil in a Dutch oven and heat over medium high heat. Add roast to the pan and brown on all sides. Transfer roast to a plate. Add onion to the pot and cook about 8 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in flour, broth, vinegar, corn syrup, anchovies, bay leaf and pepper. Heat to a boil. Return the roast to the pot. Reduce heat, cover and simmer roast about 2 hours until tender. Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and boil 15 to 20 minutes until just tender. Drain potatoes and toss with parsley. Place roast on a platter. Arrange potatoes around the roast. Serve immediately.
