Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 200 grams Cooked beef or sausage
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 large Eggs
- Pickled beets (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and dice them into small, evenly-sized cubes (approximately 1 cm).
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion.
Dice the cooked beef or sausage into small cubes, similar in size to the potatoes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, spreading them in an even layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and starting to crisp.
Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Mix the onions with the potatoes, then add the diced meat. Cook everything together for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is warmed through.
Season the mixture with salt and ground black pepper. Stir to combine and adjust seasoning to taste.
In a separate non-stick skillet, fry the eggs to your desired doneness (sunny-side up is traditional).
Serve the pyttipanna hot, topped with a fried egg. Optionally, garnish with pickled beets on the side for an authentic touch.
