Pyttipanna (Swedish hash) · Stockholm
A diced hash of cubed potatoes, onion and meat (sausage, ham or leftover roast) fried in butter, served with pickled beetroot and a fried egg on top. The Swedish leftover Sunday dish.
Pyttipanna means small pieces in pan: the dish codified in working-class Stockholm in the 19th century as the Saturday-Sunday morning use-up of the week's leftovers. The classic combination of potato, onion and any cured meat (kassler ham, frankfurters, leftover roast) with pickled beetroot is the dictionary version. Tradition on Österlånggatan, Pelikan on Blekingegatan and the saluhall counters all run the canonical recipe today.
