Pyttipanna — Swedish Breakfast Hash

Ingredients

• 1 lb potatoes, in small even dice
• 8 oz Sausage, diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 tbsp butter
• 4 eggs
• Pickled beets, the classic sidekick
• Chives

Method

1. Fry the potatoes in half the butter over medium-high, tossing occasionally, until golden and tender, 12 minutes. Even dice = even crisp; Swedes take the knife work seriously.
2. Push aside, add the rest of the butter, and fry the onion and Sausage until browned, 5 minutes. Combine and season well.
3. Fry the eggs sunny-side up in a second pan — the yolk is the sauce.
4. Plate the hash with an egg riding on top and pickled beets alongside — their sweet-sour cuts the richness like it was hired to.
5. Scatter chives and serve. Any leftover becomes tomorrow's pyttipanna, which is the whole philosophy: nothing dies, everything gets fried.
