Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams Potatoes
- 1 large Onion
- 300 grams Cooked beef or sausage
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 large Eggs
- 100 grams Pickled beets
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small, even cubes, about 1 cm in size.
Peel and finely chop the onion.
Cut the cooked beef or sausage into small, bite-sized cubes.
Heat half of the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add the diced potatoes to the pan and sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and cooked through.
Push the potatoes to one side of the pan and add the remaining butter.
Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the diced beef or sausage to the pan and stir everything together. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and everything to crisp up slightly.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then remove the pan from the heat and keep warm.
In a separate frying pan, fry the eggs sunny side up or to your preferred doneness.
Serve the pyttipanna onto plates, and top each serving with a fried egg.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve with pickled beets on the side.
