Savor the comforting flavors of Sweden with Pytt i Panna Meat Hash, a hearty and satisfying dish that’s perfect for any meal of the day. This classic recipe combines crispy, golden-brown diced potatoes, savory cooked meats like beef, pork, or sausage, and sweet caramelized onions, all tossed together in a skillet for a flavor-packed hash. Topped with a perfectly fried egg and optionally served with tangy pickled beets for a traditional flair, this one-pan wonder is not only quick to prepare—with just 15 minutes of prep—but also irresistibly delicious. Whether you're looking for a crowd-pleasing breakfast, brunch, or dinner, Pytt i Panna is sure to impress with its rustic charm and bold flavors.
Peel the potatoes and dice them into small, uniform cubes (about 1 cm). Dice the cooked meats into similar-sized pieces. Finely chop the onion.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown on the outside and tender inside.
Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil or butter to the skillet, then add the chopped onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft and slightly caramelized.
Add the diced cooked meat to the skillet with the onions and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the meat is heated through and lightly browned.
Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
While the hash is finishing, fry the eggs in a separate skillet to your desired doneness (sunny-side up is traditional).
Serve the Pytt i Panna hot, topped with a fried egg. Optionally, garnish with pickled beets on the side for a traditional Swedish touch.
