Pytt i Panne – Potato Hash

Before the weekend I just wanted to share a quick recipe for Pytt i panne! This is a dish you’ll find across the Nordic. As the Norwegian saying goes “kjært barn har mange navn“, which means “a loved child has many names”. In Norway it goes by pytt i panne, in Sweden it’s pytt i panna, pyttipannu in Finland, and then biksemad in Denmark. No matter the name, it’s a comfort dish across the borders!

Traditionally it’s a dish meant to use leftovers, but many will make it in it’s own right as well, and no wonder, it’s delicious! Traditionally (and again across the borders) it’s usually served with eggs and pickled beets.
Personally I’m not a fan of beets, so I went with the pickles instead like I usually do.
