Pytt i Panna

This pytt i panna recipe, Swedish for “small pieces in a pan,” is made with a hash of sautéed onions, potatoes, smoked salmon, fried eggs and pickled beets. It makes a delicious and unusual Scandinavian style breakfast!

Also known as pyttipannu, this popular Swedish hash can be found in most grocery stores throughout the country.

Originally the dish was created to use up leftovers from the night before. You can certainly substitute leftover cooked steak, or even bacon and sausage, for the smoked trout or salmon in this recipe.

Serve this any time of day with a side of ketchup, mustard and toast!
