📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Pyttipanna means 'small pieces in a pan,' a dish of leftover potato, meat, and sausage diced and fried; similar dishes are eaten across the Nordic countries. It's classically topped with a runny fried egg and served with pickled beets, made for busy weeknight dinners or weekend brunches.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a weeknight, a father home from work quickly makes pyttipanna from fridge leftovers, tops it with fried eggs, and brings the pan straight to the table.
